What owners wrote
The vehicle was in an accident and rolled over, the consumer stated she must have fallen asleep at the wheel. Neither front driver or passenger air bags deployed. Driver could not recall whether there was pre-impact braking, but assumed so since it was a natural reaction. Both passengers were wearing seat belts, and the air bag warning light was not illuminated at any time prior to the collision. Driver sustained serious injuries, such as broken ribs/ contusions and bruises. The passenger was killed.
On 4/1/2003,took delivery of a chevrolet 3500 p/up VIN:[xxx] it has a sudden acceleration. Dealer has had vehicle 3 weeks GM has no cure, they want to drive it and try and capture the data to fix it. My insurance co doesn't want them to drive it because of liability. Where do I go from here. *nlm
