 Description of the problemI was involved in motor vehicle accident on the date of nov 21,2013. I was pulling out of a parking lot, i was hit by an on coming mid sized suv traveling at a high rate of speed. The crash caused a large amount of damage to the suv as well as a large amount of damage to my 2007 avalanche. The impact hit my front drivers corner. My air bags did "not" deploy!!!! There is now a warning light on my dash info center. I got that info from the ins adjuster who called to let me know the truck is going to be repaired. My concern is that why didn't my air bags deploy??? I have been doing some reading and there seams to be a major issue with gm's avalanche models and air bag issues. It is well documented on several web site threw out the internet. I even found some info on service notices posted by gm to dealers. If gm knows this is a safety issue why has there not been a national recall? I was involved in a major accident and did not have the added benefit of the safety devices that are supposed to save my life i paid for that added safety in the high purchase price of my truck. Why didn't they work like they are intended to???? Thank the lord it was just me in the truck!! God forbid had my family been in the truck with me, i can't imagine the out come!!! Something needs to be done, there is clearly a safety issue with these systems. Gm knows there is a problem but has done nothing to solve it. What will it take??? A death??? I certainly hope not!!!! I suffered some injuries, none internal but i am still recovering, i wonder if they would have been minimized had my air bags worked like they should have! I am thankful that i'm still here for my family and that none of them were with me in the truck during this accident. Please address this issue before some one looses their life or that of a loved one! Gm needs to fix this asap! Please!!!
