TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2017 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE. THE CONTACT STATED UPON ACCELERATING FROM A COMPLETE STOP, ANOTHER VEHICLE T-BONED THE DRIVER SIDE OF HIS VEHICLE. THE CONTACT STATED THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. THE CONTACT STATED HE AND HIS PASSENGER WERE TRANSPORTED TO THE HOSPITAL BY AMBULANCE. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED A CONCUSSION, BROKEN RIBS AND BRUISING AS WELL HIS PASSENGER SUSTAINED BACK INJURIES. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A TOW LOT AND DEEMED A TOTAL LOSS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO LOCAL DEALER FOR DIAGNOSES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE 22,000.

MY WIFE WAS DRIVING THE CAR AND GOT HIT T-BONES ON THE DRIVER SIDE AND THE AIRBAGS DIDN'T DEPLOY. THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION ON THE HIGHWAY AND ANOTHER CAR CAME FROM THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION OF THE HIGHWAY AND HIT HER T-BONE AND THE AIRBAGS DIDN'T DEPLOY. MY WIFE HIT HER HEAD, CHEST AND NECK ON THE STEERING WHEEL AND SHE'S HAVING CONCUSSION.

TAKATA RECALL - I TOOK MY CAR INTO THE DEALERSHIP BECAUSE MY AIRBAG WARNING SENSORS LIT UP ON MY DASHBOARD. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THE ENTIRE PASSENGER SEAT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AT ABOUT $1100, AND IT WAS MY RESPONSIBILITY AS THERE WAS NO RECALL ON IT. THE VEHICLE IS ONLY 1.5 YEARS OLD AND HAS NEVER HAD ANY ACCIDENTS/AIRBAG ISSUES.

CHECK AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON BRIEFLY. DEALER SAID THEY COULDN'T FIND A CODE IN THE SYSTEM SHOWING THAT IT HAD COME ONE. THEN AS I'M DRIVING WITH MY KIDS IN THE CAR, THE TRACTION LIGHT COMES ON RANDOMLY, IT STARTS WANTING TO TURN OFF ON ITSELF. MIND YOU I'M ON A VERY BUSY STREET WITH MORONS GOING OVER 60 MPH BEHIND ME. IT COULD HAVE BEEN A MAJOR ACCIDENT! I WENT TO ADVANCE AUTO CAUSE I THOUGHT MAYBE IT WAS MY BATTERY, EVEN THOUGH ITS A BRAND NEW CAR. NO. IT WASN'T THEY TESTED IT AND EVERYTHING. SO I CALLED THE DEALER AND THEY TOOK IT IN FOR A DAY TO THEN TELL ME THAT IT IS SHOWING BATTERY CODES. I HAD JUST CHECKED THE BATTERY THE DAY BEFORE! SO I KNEW IT WASN'T THAT, BUT THEY WOULDN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. SO TO PLAY IT SAFE, I BOUGHT A NEW BATTERY. I HAD THE PLACE I BOUGHT THE NEW ONE FROM TEST MY OLD BATTERY AND BIG SHOCKER THE TEST CAME BACK AS A GOOD BATTERY. SO I SPENT THE MONEY FOR A UNNECESSARY BATTERY. A MONTH GOES BY AND NOTHING HAPPENS. THEN ABOUT 2-3 WEEKS AGO MY SCREEN STARTS COMPLAINING ABOUT "DISK ERROR" THE DVD SYSTEM ISN'T EVEN ON, AND I'M NOT PLAYING MUSIC ON IT EITHER SO IT SHOULDN'T BE SHOWING ME "DISK ERROR" EVEN IF THERE WAS A DISK IN IT. THE [XXX] THING WAS OFF! AND YESTERDAY MY HUSBAND GOES TO DRIVE THE CAR AND IT STARTS ACTING CRAZY AGAIN WANTING TO TURN OFF ON ITSELF. SO I'M DONE. IT'S A HAZARD TO MY FAMILY TO OWN THIS CAR. ALSO, I HEARD FROM AN ACQUAINTANCE THAT OWNS THE SAME CAR BUT AN OLDER MODEL THAT THIS WAS HAPPENING TO HER VEHICLE TOO, AND THAT IT WAS COVERED UNDER A RECALL BUT BECAUSE OURS IS NEWER IT ISN'T COVERED. SO WE GOT SCREWED WITH THIS VEHICLE. THANKS GM.
