I was driving down the road at 55 mph when a deer ran out and hit the passenger side of my vehicle. it bounced and rolled off the drivers side. i pulled the vehicle off to the side of the road. all of the electric components in the vehicle were on. the interior lights were on, the hazard lights were flashing and the console was locked up. i pushed the buttons, but nothing happened. the airbags did not deploy there was a message on the screen that say service airbag (but they hadn't deployed). i could smell something burning, the vehicle was smoking and i could hear something popping, i got out to assess the damage and my vehicle was on fire. the vehicle ended up being a total loss.. this is happened in ga and the state patrol did the police report.
Traveling on state highway 136 between 50 and 55mph. the listed vehicle struck a deer causing significant front end damage. immediately following there was a very strong odor similar to gun powder. the airbag light illuminated and on star came on line in the car due to crash sensor notification. however, there was no airbag deployment.the entire front end of the car sustained damage as well as the radiator. the drivers side front quarter panel also buckled. it is unknown at this time of further damage. the vehicle sustained enough damage to where it required it to be towed to a dealership body shop for further evaluation. based on the front end and quarter panel damage, there should have been an airbag deployment. the listed vehicle is the only vehicle involved with the collision. the georgia state patrol investigated and completed a crash report.
Tl* the contact owns a 2017 gmc terrain. while driving 32 mph, the contact's vehicle struck a parked vehicle. the air bags did not deploy. a police report was filed. the contact sustained injuries to the head and mouth, and sustained a mild concussion. medical attention was required. it was not determined whether or not the vehicle was destroyed. the dealer and manufacturer were not made aware of the crash. the failure mileage was approximately 2,850.
I was driving 9pm on a city st rd, coming up on a mile light that was red. the roads were dry on a 5 lane rd. there was 1 car ahead of my car with their brake lights on . although not noted on police report the car was stopped approx 5 to 7 car lengths prior to the red light. i had began to slow down but did not realize the driver ahead was not slowing down but stopped. i swerved to the right and as noted in pics below the drivers side of car hit the other drivers passenger back corner. i ended up in a parking lot on that corner. other then the medical term coop to coop that also aided in my head injury, i also hit my head 2 times at my hairline on the steering wheel and then my left cheek. i was diagnosed and sustained a severe concussion/ brain trauma. i went to the emergency room twice for care of worsening symptoms and was incapacitated and out of work for about 6 wks. which was still to fast to return, but i could not afford being on disability. following the accident the car was taken to the city tow yard, and was assessed within a week by the ins adjuster as total loss. from there it was taken to a junk salvage business. due to my incapacitation i had no means to look into concerns related to why the airbags did not deploy. i am a nurse practitioner that now has short term memory loss, migraines, and attention deficit due to the brain injury. i have no way of finding out if the airbag sensors were defective or not because, although i'm attempting to track the car it's been difficult, and unsure of my rights to the car if i can track it down. the bigger surprise was that i received a recall notice on my 2018 gmc terrain just today, but have no answers on the 2017. please help in anyway with what i should do. sincerely *tr *js
