Pontiac Vibe Air Bags Safety Report | Nov 29, 2013
Reported on Nov 29, 2013
| I WAS IN AN ACCIDENT ON 11/29/2013 ON CROW CANYON, SAN RAMON, CA AND THE INDIVIDUAL IN FRONT OF ME SLAMMED ON THERE BRAKES AND IN TURN I DID THE SAME AND MY VEHICLE HIT THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME AND TOTALED MY FRONT END. THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY AND MY BODY SLAMMED INTO THE STEERING WHEEL WHICH IN TURN HURT MY CHEST BADLY. THE SAN RAMION PD WAS SHOCKED THAT THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. I REC'D A RECALL NOTICE ON 1/2012 STATING THE PARTS WERE DEFECTIVE. NEVER WAS RESOLVED BY THE GMC PONTIAC. THANK GOODNESS I WAS WEARING MY SEATBELT OR I HAVE GONE THRU THE WIND SHIELD. THE AIRBAGS SHOULD HAVE DEPLOYED. THE GMC CORPORATION SHOULD HAVE RESOLVED THE PROBLEM LONG AGO AND DID NOT. THIS IS NOT CORRECT. I BELIEVE THEY SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THE DEFECT OF AIRBAGS FOR NOT RESOLVING THE AIRBAGS LONG AGO. *TR | |
