2003 Chevrolet Trailblazer EXT Air bags Problems

“It was sleeting and I lost control on a curve. I had been driving about 50 MPH, but brake before the curve and brake very hard when I tried to regain control of the vehicle, as it was sliding sideways toward the curve. I went off the curve and hit an elevated crossroad, which sent the vehicle airborne. I was airborne over most of the side road, with the rear of the vehicle hitting just the last few inches of pavement, which then sent the vehicle nosediving into the ditch. The embankments were 4-5 feet tall. I had two very hard front end impacts and hit my head on the steering wheel twice. …”

“My seatbelt light comes on. I take it to the dealer for correction along with other maintenance issues I had about my vehicle. All this is under warranty. After regular maintenance is taken care of the seatbelt light stays on. The light never gets fixed or goes out. The vehicle was never in an accident that makes the bags deploy. I bring the truck back many times but the issue never gets taken care of. Now that the warranty is off they want to charge me $1000 for repairs that should have been taken care of under the warranty and the truck will not pass inspection until this gets taken care of. …”

“We were involved in an automobile accident while driving a 2003 trailblazer xt. A driver turned in front of us at an intersection on a busy highway while we had a green light. I slammed on the brakes slowing down to what we believe to be around 35 miles per hour, and we hit head on into the side of his range rover. Neither front airbag deployed. I sustained a broken right foot and multiple bruises to my knees. I also hit the steering wheel with my chest and had many bruises to my chest. I am doing physical therapy for the injury my shoulder sustained from hitting the steering wheel. …”

“I have a had to replace my driver side frontal air bag twice already this is going on my third time in the last year. Using different companies. There is a problem with the wiring and the connector in the horn of the steering wheel, and it will not stay connected. I have called chevy several times to see if there is or was a recall and I have been told no more then once.”

“The contact stated while traveling 75 MPH the vehicle swerved to the right and then over corrected. The vehicle went into a ditch, then flipped several times however, the airbags did not deploy. Seat belts were in use and injuries were sustained. The vehicle was towed first to a wrecker service then it was taken to an insurance company. No inspection as to why the air bags did not deploy. The manufacturer has not been alerted. Updated 04/06/06.”
