Wrecked my TBSS
Thats right after just 5 weeks of owning it since replacing the truck that was stolen 5 weeks ago a guy in ranger decides to pull out in front of me going 45-50mph on a 6 lane divided rd to turn accross the median and go the other way, needless to say I could do nothing to avoid it and hit him just behind the driver rear wheel. He filpped and rolled 1 1/2 times and landed in the median on the sign that said "keep off median"!
He got the citation for failure to maintain safe lookout and the ambulance ride, I got some nifty new racin skripes from the paint in his truck! Would you believe the airbags DID NOT deploy in the TBSS!!! Nor did ONSTAR call to see if I was ok! Somebody got some splainin to do!!

I'm very sore! With that impact not be injured is a testament to the safety of GM vehicles.
As for the airbags, I'm a GM tech and all the rest of the tech's at work can't believe it as well!! We will find out why and If needed I will persue legal action.

Have to see if it gonna be a total or not and go from there, I did get gap when I bought it and have yet to even make the first payment, due the 24th.
I think I'd have a hard time with airbag issue being as I wasnt injured and it might even be a good thing they didn't deploy.
If totaled I will buy another! And if not to pricey maintain salvage on this one! HMMM LS2/4l70/14 bolt 99 GMC???

Sorry to hear about the TBSS, that blows. About the air bags I question GM because in my 02 avalanche i nailed something head on at about 40 and no air bags. Yet in my Mitsubishi i hit something at 15 and they went off.
