I was in a car accident. while driving, i don't know what happened but something caused my truck to roll over. earlier that day i remember that my parking brake would not work. i also had some trouble putting the gear into park. my airbags didn't deploy during this accident, and i was driving with cruise control on if that has any bearing on this. also, my front tires were always needing air. *tr

Suburban was traveling @ approximately 35 miles per/hour when a toyota forerunner illegally pulled in front @ a speed of approx 5-10 per hours and caused a head-collision. forerunners airbags deployed but the suburban did not causing injury to occupant of the suburban. the suburban's damage was both radiators were split into 2 also car needed over 10,000.00 worth of major repairs to front end. after crash car would not start. possible ignition problem. *js

Someone ran a red light and creamed into us at about 50-55 mph. the impact area was the passenger wheel well area and the impact was so violent that it smashed everything over and including the starter... our air bags did not deploy and i always wondered if it was because the crash smashed the starter and had something to do with the gm recalls now. both my son and i have never been the same after that crash and neither of us can even sleep in a bed from neck and back pain... we both had brain injuries and mine was rather severe where i lost my superior intelligence and photographic memory...and had severe language and speech problems... it was almost like i was dyslexic and i have never been the same. both our health deteriorated since... i was told 'our air bags would have deployed' if it would have been a hard impact (which it was), since the man's car was totaled for how he hit us without ever braking or slowing down... since the impact was the passenger wheel well area and corner bumper clear over to the driver side and even broke the starter, i wonder if the ignition did something to make the air bags not deploy. i always felt there was more to this accident, but no one would do anything for us. now with all these gm recalls, i wonder if there was an issue with this accident. can someone please let me know if our airbags should have deployed with such a violent crash and if when the crash broke the starter if it could have prevented the air bags from deploying? thank you so very much. *tr

The box that contains the safety switch for deployment was completely crushed, however neither bag deployed causing personal body injury. the force of hitting the wheel was enough to bend it so it needs to be replaced. nlm

While driving about 30-40 mph, had "t"-boned another vehicle, and driver's side airbag did not deploy. also, caused motor to be pushed back about 5 inches. contacted dealer, and informed consumer vehicle was not designed for airbag to go off on frontal impact. please add vin. *ak
