I was driving from lufkin to hemphill at 70 MPH. Something blew up, I thought something hit me. Engine died, brakes started, emergency lights came on, and seatbelt locked down, truck stopped, I got out to see what hit me. Nothing! When I got back in the truck a white powder (not smoke) was coming out of the seat belt on drivers side. When seat belt locked down I had to back seat up to get out of the belt. I was lucky that I did not hit someone.

Vehicle's airbags did not deploy upon collision with two concrete walls, causing a life threatening tbi and also severe damage to the left arm which resulted in it's inability to control/use below the elbow, and especially the hand. This was due to the brachial plexus injury that was caused when the airbags did not deploy as they were supposed to. I have attached the report from police and insurance company (with photos).

My wife was traveling back from store in a 08 gmc sierrra. As she approached red light both driver and passenger side air bags deployed! No one else in the vehicle. Paved road and traveling about 15-20 MPH. The airbag on the passenger side destroyed the windshield on the passenger side. Looked like someone tried to throw a brick thru it.
Received standard takata recall letter in 2016 & began contacting gmc & chevy dealers in my area, but they just kept saying waiting for parts. They acknowledged my vehicle was affected, but 'no parts available'. Online search also says my vehicle is affected. Now (6/2020)I contacted same dealer (mckinney gmc buick, mckinney, tx), who claims my vehicle is not affected. I think they're blowing smoke.
