Consumer Description

MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING HIS 2000 GMC SIERRA GOING ABOUT 45MPH. THE ROADS WERE WET HE SWERVED TO AVOID ANOTHER CAR. HE HIT A UTILITY POLE IN WHAT WAS A FRONT END COLLISION. THE TRUCK WAS TOTALED. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. HIS EYE HIT THE STEERING WHEEL WITH SUCH FORCE THAT THE GLOBE OF HIS EYE DEFLATED. HE IS NOW BLIND IN HIS LEFT EYE. AFTER THE ACCIDENT I CHECKED THE TRUCK FOR RECALLS. THERE WAS A RECALL ABOUT AIRBAGS NOT DEPLOYING PROPERLY IN FRONT END COLLISIONS. THERE WAS NEVER ANY NOTIFICATION FROM GMC ABOUT THIS RECALL. *TR
