I was in an accident where another driver pulled out in front of me crossing oncoming traffic. I hit him broadside doing approximately 30-35 miles per hour. My front end was nearly shoved all the way up to the windshield. My 2005 trailblazer was totaled. My airbag did not deploy and if it wasn't for my seatbelt I would have went through the windshield the impact was so hard. I sustained a hurt shoulder and arm and probably wouldn't had such a painful injury if the airbag had of deployed.

According to the federal safety agency campaign id number: 06v417000 and gm recall no. 06102 my vehicle should be included in this recall. When I tried calling the number listed 1‑877‑477‑1022 it is a non working number. When I contacted chevy customer service the person I spoke with was rather rude and not helpful.
I was driving down a curvy road. I looked away from the road for a second and when I looked back to the road I was slightly veering off. I overcorrected the car to my left and corrected back to the right. Once I was back straight again-the side impact airbags deployed. This all happened very quick. I was traveling about 35-40 MPH. There was no damage to the vehicle, I did not hit anything and there was no collision. There was only one other passenger in the car and no one was hurt. I called the insurance company who declined the claim since there was no collision or property damage. They attributed the crash to overly sensitive yaw sensors. The insurance company told me they have seen similar occurrences that they attributed to the yaw sensor. I made a claim with chevrolet, the manufacturer, of my vehicle. Chevrolet sent out a 3rd party engineer/inspector to look at and diagnose the vehicle. The engineer's report said that the vehicle was preparing for a roll over and acted as it was supposed to so there was no mechanical malfunctions. Nothing has been done to correct this situation. The airbags on the vehicle have not been replaced. Chevrolet says the car has no mechanical defect and the insurance company says there was no collision or anything to attribute to why the airbags deployed, other than the airbags being too sensitive.

My daughter had an accident on 12/16/2008. She has(had) a 2005 chevrolet trailblazer ls, 2 wheel drive SUV. While driving on the ohio turnpike during a snow storm she lost control and had a head on crash with a cement retaining wall while traveling between 25 to 35 miles per hour. The air bag did not deploy during the accident and she slammed hard into the steering wheel resulting in a concussion, chest injuries, sore wrist, dizziness, and still has ringing in one ear. She did have her safety belt on at the time of the accident and always wears it. We are baffled as to why the air bag did not come out as it would have save her much pain. The car is a total wreck as described by the pontiac dealer that her insurance company towed the SUV to for repairs. The trailblazer sustained much damage such as a bent frame, broken transmission, all of the motor mounts and the transmission mounts broke loose from the frame, bent steering wheel, and all parts from the engine forward are either gone or bent beyond repair. With this violent of a crash no one has been able to tell us why the air bags did not deploy. We bought this SUV used from a chevy dealer in july of 2005 and it had around 8000 miles on it at that time. I would like to know if there is some way of checking the functionally of this air bag to see if there may be a possible problem with it. Her crash was head on and in my opinion violent enough to activate the driver side air bag. Any suggestions as to what we should do?

My 2005 chevrolet trailblazer is possibly involved with recall # 06v417000. I have called gm, the dealership that I purchased the vehicle from, and the toll free # listed on the recall form and cannot get any information regarding this matter. I did not receive a recall letter from gm. When I became aware of this recall, I called gm and they had no record of my vehicle having leather installed by the dealership and referred me to the dealership. Aftermarket leather seats were installed in my vehicle at the time of purchase at the dealership that I purchased my vehicle from. After reading the recall notice, I am very concerned that the airbags in my vehicle will not function properly if I am in an accident. I am concerned about the safety of my vehicle and would like to have someone help me with this issue.
