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).

Above the instrument panel and front left of the passenger air bag. If airbag goes off shards are going to fly at faces. Safety hazard if the airbag was deployed and is not aesthetically pleasing making a fine gm vehicle look sloppy

Dashboard cracked in two places. The passenger side cracked on the portion covering the passenger air bag. I am worried that if inflated, the plastic shards will impale any passenger. Also the dashboard cracked on the driver side above the instrument cluster. It is beginning to cave it.

The panels over the rear wheels are both rusting through. Bubbles on the paint as it rust to the surface. Truck is not driven during winter snow months it stays in garage over the winter months. Surprised it would rust through already. Is there any body warranty for rust before 10 years?
