I was driving on highway 20 heading towards north carolina. I was about 5 to 10 miles from meridian, ms and I was driving into a down pour of rain. Two semis passed me splashing water and after the second semi passed all I knew was my vehicle spinning out of control at a rapid speed bouncing up and down for about 30 to 50 yards and finally slamming into a tree on the driver side and the airbags did not deploy. I myself sustained minor injuries along with my oldest son. My two younger sons were in the backseat but I had a basket next to the drivers side passengers door which made one of my son's sit in the middle and my other son to the right of him.

The vehicle was taken to the dealer on numerous occasions, but they could not produce any error codes or provide a sufficient remedy. In addition, the air bag warning indicator would sporadically illuminate on the instrument panel, which signified that the air bag was inoperative. If the passenger sensing system were to malfunction, the front air bag on the passenger side could be disabled when it should be enabled or vice versa. The risk of injury in the event of a crash was increased.

I was operating my 2006 chevy trailblazer when I slide on slippery pavement due to freezing rain. My vehicle began turning sideways then straightened out and bumped the left side curb parallel with my tires. Only the left side tires struck a 4" curb. Both right and left side curtain air bags deployed. The left one hit me in the side of the face and left shoulder. The impact with the curb could not have been at more than 10 MPH. There is no damage done to my vehicle, the step bars, mud flaps and/or even a scuff mark on either of my tires. No one else was in the vehicle with me. Thank goodness my 1 yr old and 8 yr old daughters were not. This air bag deployment would have caused injuries to my daughters not a bump to a 4" curb. I have been driving for over 17 years and have only have one accident. I drive for a living and now I am terrified to take my girls in my vehicle. My car is not fixed and I have requested gm to do an inspection on the vehicle. Time will tell but I believe in safety but not in the name of failure.

This vehicle was just listed in the top ten worst vehicles to drive regarding safety crash rating reports. I have only owned it for 6 months, and im was afraid to drive it with my family and myself. I think chevrolet should take full responsibility for these vehicles and accept them back if their own product wasc extremly unsafe!
