Takata recall air bags did not deploy when driving 75mph speed limit on rural hwy. It was real dark hard to see and I come up on the curve per eyewitnesses stated I was going just fine then all sudden went dwn into the ditch head first back rt tire blew off then vehicle started flipping a total of 8x..hit front hummer first. And flipped 8 times..no air bags deployed. Hummer come to rest on drivers side finally. Again the riverside air bags did not deploy. I feel like this is error in gm. Cuz those airbags shld have deployed and I would be able to stand sit put my own shoes on get dressed everything

Not one air bag deployed on hummer if it did I maybe okay.there is a police report I dont have it I have hired atty. There was 71 pictures taken of hummer that shows clearly where they did not deploy. I feel just cuz I went out of lane just alittle bit has nothing to do with my airbags not deploying.

My wife was driving the posted speed limit of 45 MPH, when another driver turned from a cross street into her, causing a head on collision. Full frontal damage to both vehicles occurred, and the airbag in our vehicle did not deploy. The airbag in the other vehicle did deploy. Onstar was notified of the accident as well as local law enforcement. The other driver was designated as the at- fault driver in the accident. I did contact gm and notified them of the failure of the airbag to deploy, and their legal department claims that if the "crumple zones" did their jobs then the airbag would not deploy, even in a head on collision. Our vehicle is still at the tow lot, and the airbag is still intact.
