Consumer Description

I OWN A 1996 CHEVY BLAZER. MY GRANDDAUGHTER WAS DRIVING IN WET WEATHER, LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND SLAMMED INTO A ROCK CLIFF. THE CAR IS TOTALED AND I AM CONCERNED BECAUSE THE AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY. I BELIEVE THE IMPACT WAS STRONG ENOUGH THAT THEY SHOULD HAVE DEPLOYED. IT WAS A FRONT END COLLISION AND SHE WAS GOING APPROXIMATELY 25 MILES PER HOUR. ALTHOUGH SHE WAS NOT GOING FAST, THE IMPACT WAS VERY HARD, ENOUGH TO TOTAL THE CAR. THE WHOLE FRONT END WAS DESTROYED. SHE WAS VERY LUCKY THAT SHE WAS NOT SERIOUSLY HURT, BUT I AM CONCERNED THAT IF IT HAD BEEN A DIFFERENT SITUATION THAT SHE COULD HAVE BEEN FATALLY WOUNDED IF THE AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY.*JB
