My 2011 gmc terrain hit a vehicle in front, causing major damage (the vehicle is totaled out) and no air bags deployed. My vehicle was traveling at approximately 55 MPH northbound in the #3 lane of the 41 freeway, south of the shaw exit. Impact was estimated to be between 20 to 30 MPH. The driver, my 18 year grand-daughter hit her head on the steering wheel and her left wrist was injured holding on to the steering wheel. The 18 year old female right front seat passenger suffered an ankle injury. Why did the air bags fail to deploy, with a straight on front end collision with the vehicle in front?! Unacceptable!!!

I was on the interstate in cincinnati, ohio when a deer crossed over the jersey wall onto the roadway as I was just beginning to exit. I hit the deer at a minimum speed of 45-50mph. My airbag did not deploy. Although I was unharmed I am concerned about the failure of the airbag to deploy given my speed and front impact. My vehicle has also recently had an intermittent issue with sudden loss of power that has been attributed to the stability control system. Given the recent rash of incidents surrounding gmc vehicles and the lack of recalls on the terrain vehicle, I am reporting these incidents at this time as I am concerned that they may be indicative of broader problem with the terrain model of vehicle.
