NHTSA Complaint #10497946 — 2002 CHEVROLET AVALANCHE

I HAD AN ACCIDENT ON THE HWY IN GEORGIA, THE STEERING WAS HARD TO CONTROL/LOCK, THE TIRE SLED, WAS RUST AND CORRODE ON STRUCTURE, BRAKE AREA, WHEEL AREA, FRAME, TIRE BROKE OFF, ALMOST FLIPPED AND WAS HIT FROM THE BACK, AND TWICE IN THE FRONT AFTER SLAMMING INTO A CEMENT DIVIDER AND THE AIR BAGS DIDN'T DEPLOY AT ALL, I INJURED MY LEFT SIDE, NECK, BACK, AND HIP. BLESSED THAT MY PREGNANT DAUGHTER IN HER 8TH MONTH WASN'T IN THE TRUCK WITH ME. I HAD DONE MULTIPLE REPAIRS ON THE FUEL TANK, TIRE ROD, KNOCK SENSOR, ABS BRAKES, RUNNING BOARD,BRAKES,ROTORS, ETC, AND WAS TOLD THAT THE RUST ON THE FRAME WON'T EFFECT THE TRUCKS PERFORMANCE AND IT WAS SAFE TO DRIVE BECAUSE EVERYTHING IS ATTACHED TO THE FRAME GOOD. I ALMOST LOST MY LIFE AND TWO OF US GOT INJURED. IF THESE TRUCKS ARE HAVING AND BEEN HAVING THESE ISSUES- WHY DO THEY JUST PULL ALL OF THEM AND GIVE PEOPLE OTHER OPTIONS. *TR
