The contact owned a 2018 GMC Terrain. The contact stated that while driving and nearly coming to a complete stop in the right lane, another vehicle driving approximately 40-50 MPH crashed into the rear of the vehicle, causing the contact to hit her face against the steering wheel, and the contact became unconscious temporarily. The contact stated that upon regaining consciousness, the contact noticed that the vehicle had moved to the grass by the left lane of the road, where traffic was going in the opposite direction. It was unknown whether the vehicle was involved in a second collision. A message advising that an accident was detected and inquiring whether 911 should be contacted was displayed.

I was sitting at a red light in the left hand turn lane. A truck ran their red light hitting another truck sending both of them crashing into my vehicle. The first truck struck the front bumper at the headlight & skid all the way down the side of the vehicle then the other truck was slammed into the side of my vehicle. All the damage was on the driver side of the car. My car was moved over into the next lane but no air bags went off. This happened on a hwy where the speed limit is 65. The truck running the red light was going at least that fast and never hit their brakes.

This is a complaint against recall n182155400. My husband a cpd police sergeant was driving home from work on june 17, 2018 nb on 111th street (public street) when he was hit going 30 MPH by an unlicensed driver hitting him on the front driver side: bumper/tire/door. To his dismay the air bags did not deploy. Luckily he had his take home radio in the car to call for immediate assistant. We were not aware of the recall until we received the onstar june diagnostic report on june 19, 2018 and then a phone call on june 20, 2018 from gmc haggerty to schedule service for the recall. Unfortunately, we cannot address the recall since the gmc will be in the auto shop for the next 2 weeks being repaired. This explains why the air bags did not deploy during the time of the accident - when they are needed the most. We filed a claim online with our insurance d48 1451-d03-13b state farm under claim number 13-01f8-89b on june 17, 2018. We do not have estimates from the auto shop at this time.

I pulled into our carport. It felt like the car just "sped up and went faster and faster." it hit the front of the car straight on. No airbags deployed nor did the front end collision stop happen.
