MY 1995 CHEVROLET BLAZER WAS IN A HEAD ON COLLISION WITH A 4 FOOT TALL CEMENT FLOWER POT. MY BLAZER WAS GOING APPROX. 25 MILES PER HOUR AT IMPACT AND MADE CONTACT WITH THE FLOWER POT DIRECTLY IN THE CENTER OF THE CAR. THE DAMAGE INCLUDED PUSHING THE BUMPER, GRILL, AND RADIATOR BACK INTO THE FAN AND ALSO BUCKLING THE HOOD. THE INSURANCE COMPANY TOTALED MY VEHICLE, ESTIMATING ABOUT $7800. WORTH OF DAMAGE. THE AIRBAG NEVER DEPLOYED. I CONTACTED CHEVROLET ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY "IN THEIR OPINION THE AIRBAG WAS NOT DEFECTIVE BECAUSE THE CAR DID NOT COME TO AN ABRUPT STOP". MY QUESTION IS HOW WOULD THEY KNOW WHAT HAPPENED IF THEY NEVER ASKED HOW MUCH DAMAGE THERE WAS OR LOOKED AT THE CAR OR EVEN ASKED ME TO SEND THEM PICTURES OF THE CAR? I THINK THEY JUST COULDN'T EVEN BE BOTHERED. IF THE DRIVER HADN'T BEEN BELTED IN, SHE SURELY WOULD HAVE HIT THE WINDSHIELD.*AK

VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: CERTAIN 4-WHEEL DRIVE PICKUP TRUCKS AND SPORT UTILITY VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH ABS (ANTILOCK BRAKING SYSTEM) MANUFACTURED FROM SEPTEMBER 1989 THROUGH AUGUST 1996. UNDER CERTAIN DRIVING CONDITIONS THE SWITCH WHICH SIGNALS THE ABS SYSTEM WHETHER THE VEHICLE IS IN 2-WHEEL OR 4-WHEEL DRIVE CAN MALFUNCTION CAUSING INCREASED STOPPING DISTANCES DURING ABS STOPS WHILE IN THE TWO-WHEEL DRIVE MODE.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: IF THIS OCCURRED AT A TIME WHEN MINIMUM STOPPING DISTANCE WAS REQUIRED, A VEHICLE CRASH COULD OCCUR WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL REPLACE OR REPAIR THE 4-WHEEL/2-WHEEL DRIVE SWITCH.
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: LIGHT DUTY PICKUP TRUCKS AND SPORT UTILITY VEHICLES, 2 AND 4-WHEEL DRIVE. SOLDER JOINTS NEAR THE WIRING HARNESS CONNECTOR CAN CRACK CAUSING THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS TO WORK INTERMITTENTLY.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: THIS CONDITION CAN RESULT IN INOPERATIVE WIPERS, REDUCING A DRIVER'S VISIBILITY, AND INCREASING THE RISK OF A VEHICLE CRASH.

Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSTALL ADDITIONAL SHIELDING OF THE FUEL TANK. THIS WILL BE ADDED WITHOUT REMOVING OR DISASSEMBLING THE FUEL SYSTEM.
