I'M MAKING THE COMPLAINT ON MY 2004 TAHOE

MY HUSBAND AND I WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT AND THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY WE WERE HIT AT 55 MPH

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 CHEVROLET TAHOE. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH AND ATTEMPTING TO MAKE A SUDDEN STOP, THE BRAKING SYSTEM EXPERIENCED A CATASTROPHIC AND INSTANT FAILURE WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE DID NOT SLOW DOWN OR STOP, WHICH CAUSED THE DRIVER TO CRASH INTO AN EMBANKMENT. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. DURING THE CRASH, THE DRIVER SUSTAINED A RIGHT KNEE INJURY THAT DID NOT REQUIRE MEDICAL ATTENTION. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS DUE TO CORROSION AND RUSTED BRAKE LINES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 160,000.

AS I APPLIED MY BRAKES TO STOP FOR TRAFFIC IN FRONT OF ME MY BRAKES FAILED CAUSING ME TO HIT THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. THERE HAD BEEN NO WARNING THAT THE BRAKE SYSTEM HAD AN ISSUE BUT UPON INSPECTION OF THE BRAKE LINES THAT COME OUT OF THE MASTER CYLINDER IT APPEARS THAT ONE OF THESE STAINLESS STEEL LINES HAS FAILED. *TR

I WAS APPROACHING AN INTERSECTION HEADING NORTHBOUND, GOT THE GREEN ARROW, SO PROCEEDED TO GO. MY VEHICLE WAS GOING ABOUT 5-10 MILES PER HOUR. ANOTHER CAR COMING THE OPPOSITE WAY, HEADING SOUTHBOUND RAN THE RED LIGHT GOING ABOUT 35 MILES PER HOUR. MY AIR BAG DID NOT BLOW. I DRIVE A 2004 CHEVY TAHOE. I HAD MY 6YR OLD DAUGHTER IN THE CAR. WE BOTH GOT INJURIES. THE OTHER CAR'S AIRBAG BLEW . MY CAR WAS CRUSHED LIKE TIN FOIL AND I CAN'T UNDERSTAND WHY THE AIR BAG DID NOT GO OFF. *TR

I WAS INVOLVED IN A HEAD ON COLLISION WITH 2 OTHER VEHICLES, AT 45 TO 50 MPH, AND MY AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. *TR

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED WITH THE PARKING BRAKE WAS ENGAGED AND THE KEYS REMOVED FROM THE IGNITION, THE CONTACT OPENED THE FRONT LEFT DOOR TO RETRIEVE AN OBJECT, WHEN IT BEGAN TO ROLL BACKWARDS DOWN THE DRIVEWAY.

INJURIES WERE INCURRED TO THE RIGHT ELBOW. THE SERVICE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOTIFIED. AN INDEPENDENT INSPECTOR WAS SENT BY THE MANUFACTURER TO INVESTIGATE.

ON DATE STATED, OUR 2004 CHEVY TAHOE VIN [XXX], LEFT THE ROADWAY, BECAME AIR BORNE, LANDED ON ITS NOSE, DEPLOYED THE AIR BAGS, AND ENDED UP UPSIDE DOWN. ACCORDING TO ONSTAR, THEY SHOULD HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED WHEN THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED, BUT THE SYSTEM FAILED AND DID NOT SEND NOTIFICATION. THERE WERE NO LIFE THREATENING INJURIES, BUT HAD THIS BEEN AT NIGHT, AND THE ACCIDENT NOT WITNESSED BY OTHERS WHO CAME TO OUR AID. THE OUTCOME COULD HAVE BEEN ENTIRELY DIFFERENT. IT IS OUR DESIRE THAT THIS SITUATION BE ELEVATED TO THE PROPER LEVEL WITHIN GM, ONSTAR, AND SPECIFICALLY CHEVROLET, SO THAT THE PROPER RESEARCH CAN BE DONE WHERE THE SYSTEM WILL NOT FAIL IN SIMILAR CIRCUMSTANCES IN THE FUTURE. THE SYSTEM IS DESIGNED TO SAVE LIVES, BUT IF IT DOES NOT WORK, IS USELESS AND MUCH ADVERTISING TO THE CONTRARY IS VERY MISLEADING. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS. [XXX] GB. *NM

CONSUMER LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE, IT ROLLED OVER, AND THE ROOF COLLAPSED. ALSO, NO AIR BAGS DEPLOYED.*AK CONSUMER GLANCED UP IN THE REAR VIEW MIRROR AT SON, LOOKED BACK DOWN AND HAD RAN OFF THE ROAD WITH ONE TIRE. TRYED TO CORRECT ENDED UP IN THE OPPOSITE LANE. WHEN CONSUMER CORRECTED THIS THE TAHOE TILTED CAUSING THE TIRE TO BUCKLE AND THE RIM CAUGHT ON THE PAVEMENT CAUSING THE CAR TO BEGIN FLIPPING. IT FLIPPED 5 TIMES LANDING ON THE ROOF. THE TAHOE WAS TOTALED. *BF

DURING A SIDE IMPACT/ROLL OVER MOTOR VEHICLE ACCIDENT, NO AUTOMATIC SAFETY FEATURES DEPLOYED. FULL SIDE IMPACT TO THE PASSENGER SIDE RESULTED IN NO AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT. THIS VEHICLE WAS EQUIPPED AT ADDITIONAL COST, SIDE IMPACT AIRBAGS. IN CONTRARY TO NATIONAL ADVERTISING THE ON-STAR FEATURE WAS ALSO A NULL RESPONSE. THIS VEHICLE WAS A TOTAL LOSE AND NON-REPAIRABLE.*AK

I WAS TRAVELING TOWARDS HOME AROUND 45 MPH IN MY 2004 CHEVROLET TAHOE. THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME ATTEMPTED A NON-SIGNALED RIGHT HAND TURN AND THEN CONTINUED STRAIGHT AHEAD. I APPLIED MY BRAKES IN A MANNER TO AVOID HITTING THE CAR AS SHE DECIDED WHAT SHE WAS GOING DO. THE PEDAL WAS FIRM AT FIRST, THEN COMPLETELY WENT TO THE FLOOR. I HAD NO BRAKES AT ALL. THIS RESULTED IN ME TAKING AN OFF ROAD ADVENTURE THROUGH SOMEONES YARD AND BACK ONTO THE ROAD TO AVOID SLAMMING THE CAR IN FRONT ME AS SHE REGAINED HER SENSE AGAIN. I SLOWLY CREPT HOME AND SPIT A TRAIL OF BRAKE FLUID ALONG THE WAY. THE HARD BRAKE LINES ON THIS VEHICLE ARE SO CORRODED WITH RUST AND I FOUND THE FRONT FEED LINE INTO THE ABS MODULE HAD BURST FROM THE CORROSION AND USE OF CHEAP FACTORY LINES. I COULD HAVE LOST MY LIFE BECAUSE 11 YEARS AGO GM DECIDED CHEAPER BRAKE LINE MATERIAL IN 2004 IS BETTER THAN MY LIFE IN 2015. NOW I FIND THAT THE INVESTIGATION IS CLOSED AND THEY ARE BLAMING "MAINTENANCE" AS THE CAUSE. IN ALL THE VEHICLES I HAVE OWNED, NOT A SINGLE ONE HAD TO HAVE A HARD BRAKE LINE REPLACED. IT'S JUST NOT NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR. IT IS A MATERIAL AND PRODUCER FLAW THAT IS GOING TO GET SOMEONE KILLED. IT ALMOST TOOK MY LIFE.

TRAVELLING NORTH ON STATE ROUTE 741 WITH MY FAMILY OF 6. WE BEGAN TO SLOW FOR STOPPED TRAFFIC ON A SLIGHT DOWNHILL GRADE. AT ONCE THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO FLOOR WITHOUT WARNING AND WHEN I APPLIED EMERGENCY BRAKE THE BRACKET FASTENING IT TO THE FRAME BROKE AS WELL. THE TRUCK WAS GAINING SPEED WITHOUT ANY BRAKES AT ALL. I PUT IT INTO A DITCH DOING 60 MPH. IT TOOK ME 1.5 MILES TO FINALLY GET THE TRUCK STOPPED. TOOK IT TO A GARAGE THEY REPLACE ALL BRAKE LINES TWO REAR CALIPERS, MASTER CYCLINDER, AND HYDRO BOOST CANISTER. HOW DO ALL THESE PARTS FAIL AT THE EXACT SAME TIME AND THE EMERGENCY BRAKE BRACKET BREAK AWAY FROM FRAME TRYING TO STOP VEHICLE? APPARENTLY THE SIZE OF THE VEHICLE IS TO MUCH FOR THE EMERGENCY BRAKE SYSTEM TO EFFECTIVELY STOP THIS VEHICLE. I AM TOLD BY A DEALER THIS IS A FREQUENT ISSUE WITH GM VEHICLE. I AM VERY MAD ABOUT THIS INCIDENT AND PUTTING MY FAMILY AT RISK. THIS VEHICLE WAS AT CHEVROLET DEALER IN BELLEFONTAINE OHIO 11 MONTHS AGO FOR A FULL INSPECTION AND NOTHING WAS FOUND EXCEPT AN INNER TIE ROD THAT NEEDED REPLACED. HOW??? WITHOUOT PRIOR WARNING CAN ALL THESE COMPONENTS IN A BRAKEING SYSTEM FAIL AT THE EXACT SAME TIME. THERE WAS ZERO EVIDENCE OF TAMPERING AND TRUCK MILEAGE IS BELOW NATIONAL AVERAGE. MAINTENANCE HAS BEEN KEPT UP TO DATE. SERIOUSLY CONCERNED OWNER!
