While driving at approx 50 MPH, another vehicle pulled out in front of me. I applied my brakes, but hit the other vehicle. The airbags did not deploy as they should have. The seat belt stopped my forward progression, but I do not know why the air bags did not deploy.

2005 chevrolet silverado 2500. Consumer writes in regards to vehicle airbag failure during accident.
I was traveling at 50 MPH into town. The vehicle in front of me had stopped and was making a left turn. I did not see the left blinker right away. When I stepped on my brakes, my left brake line blew and I lost my brakes and rear ended the car. My speed at impact was around 40 to 45 MPH. The airbags in the truck did not go off. I sustained whiplash in my neck and left shoulder from the impact to the vehicle in front of me.

The air bags did not deploy. The driver and the passenger both sustained minor injuries. The ambulance was called and transported the passenger and the driver to the emergency room for treatment. The police were notified of the crash and a police report was filed. The vehicle was destroyed. The dealer was notified of the air bag failure and stated that the air bags sensors were sensitive and were too weak to deploy. The dealer offered no additional assistance. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure and current mileage was not available.
I have had so many problems with this truck, here are some. Alternator, air bag, brakes, ABS, steering box, water pump, blower switch, speedometer, horn. When the blower switch started smoking my grandson tried to jump out of the truck while it was moving. My dash is always lit with some type of problem.
We were traveling down interstate 10 in mobile, al. It was a foggy night and the the road was damp. The truck spun sideways and regained traction heading head on into a concrete barrier. It hit the solid concrete barrier head on at 55 miles per hour. The bumper and frame of the truck was crushed. The concrete barrier was not broken. The airbags on the truck did not deploy. Both the driver and the passenger in the front seats hit their heads on the dash board and were rushed to the hospital for treatment. An airbag deployment should have prevented these hospitalizations. This case is very cut and dry. The truck did not miss any sensors. Due to the fact the airbag didn't deploy onstar was not called.
Lost control of vehicle went off the road into ditch totaling vehicle, air bag never deployed causing me to hit steering wheel with head. Luckily I was not seriously injured ( two black eyes ) just would like to know why the air bag didn't go off.
