1996 Chevrolet S10 Air bags Problems

“Dt: the consumer stated 1996 Chevrolet s-10 was involved in a crash. Upon impact, airbags did not deploy. The truck was hit by a tractor trailer. Driver sustained severe injuries, including whiplash, a swollen head, cut and scraps, facial abrasions, and injuries to the chest/legs/stomach and a black eye. The seat belts did contain the driver to the seat. The driver had marks on the stomach left from the seat belt. But, the seat belts on the driver saved him from falling out of the vehicle. The driver hit the steering wheel with his face on the left side. …”

“I was driving a chevy s-10 when a lady pulled in front of me. I was doing the speed limit of about 55-60 MPH. I ended up hitting her car and in turn my truck rolled over several (6-10) times. The whole truck from bumper to bumper and side to side and top to bottom was destroyed. The truck was totaled. The seatbelt did its job but no airbag came out. I bought the truck used from a local car dealer here in concord 2 years ago. I am very bruised and cut and very upset that just maybe if that airbag had worked I would not have gotten all that glass along with everything else flying my way. …”

“According to owners manual airbags are supposed to be deployed at a threshold of 9-18 MPH. Thy did not. Contacted GM dealership and they do not want to do anything with this problem. I need your help. My hand is in a cast and according to my doctor may need an operation to mend the torn ligaments in my hand. I hit the steering wheel with my chest. Yet the GM manufacturer will not do anything other than explain to me how the air bags work. A vehicle cross my path not yielding to traffic and crossed my front about 15 feet away. …”

“Traveling at 40+ MPH on a major highway, the driver either became unconsius for unknown reasons and went off the road. I went over an enbankment and into a ditch head on totaling the car. The airbag did not deploy but the car was totaled. The collision was a front impact into a hard ditch due to the drought status at the time. The front end was wrecked beyond repair and the airbag did not deploy. I feel that it malfunctiioned and want it reported before someone gets killed. I have reported to the insurance co and to GM.”

“The accident was almost head on mainly on the passenger side. The impact was hard the air bags went off in the other car but neither one of ours went off. For about a year prior to the accident the truck would stall at random times.”
