NHTSA Complaint #10275321 — 2002 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER

I DROVE TO THE AIRPORT I GOT THERE EARLY AND MY SON WAS SLEEPING SO MY COUSIN AND I DECIDED TO TAKE A LITTLE NAP AS WELL. IT WAS THANKSGIVING WEEK. IT WAS VERY COLD OUTSIDE SO WE STARTED THE CAR TO WARM IT UP AFTER ABOUT AN HOUR, THEN MY SON WOKE UP SO WE DECIDED TO START GETTING EVERYTHING READY TO GET ON THE SHUTTLE. REMEMBER WE ARE PARKED IN A PARKING LOT AND HAVE NOT MOVED FOR OVER AN HOUR. WE GOT MY SON OUT OF HIS SEAT BROUGHT HIM TO THE FRONT SEAT WITH US, I WAS GETTING HIS DIAPER BAG READY AND MY COUSIN WAS CHANGING HIS DIAPER AND PUTTING HIS SHOES ON FOR ME. WHEN SHE WAS DONE MY SON WANTED ME AND AS SOON AS HE GOT TO THE MIDDLE CONSOLE, OUT OF NO WHERE THE FRONT AIRBAGS DEPLOYED, ON BOTH SIDES DRIVERS AND PASSENGERS SIDE! LUCKILY NONE OF US WERE HURT AND MY SON WAS WHERE HE WAS OR HE WOULD HAVE BEEN SEVERELY INJURED HE WAS ONLY 18 MONTHS AT THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT! AS SOON AS I GOT HOME I CALLED GENERAL MOTORS MYSELF AND REPORTED THE INCIDENT AND THEY MADE AN APPOINTMENT WITH ME TO INVESTIGATE WHAT COULD HAVE MADE THIS HAPPEN. THEY SAID THEY FOUND NOTHING, SO OBVIOUSLY THERE WAS A DEFAULT SOMEWHERE. I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO GET HELP FOR MONTHS NOW AND I AM GETTING NO WHERE. I COULD TRADE IT IN BUT WITHOUT AIRBAGS I AM LOSING A COUPLE THOUSAND DOLLARS. BOTH SIDES ARE STILL ALL OPEN AND NOT FIXED I DO NOT HAVE THE MONEY TO FIX THEM, I DO NOT AND DID NOT WANT TO SUE, I WOULD JUST BE HAPPY WITH A TRADE IN SO I CAN HAVE A SAFE VEHICLE FOR MY FAMILY AND MYSELF. *TR
