What owners wrote

I have been seeing commercials about airbags not deploying on chevy vehicles. My daughter was killed in my 04 chevy tahoe where the airbags did not deploy. She was thrown from the vehicle and also another person was in the car as well. Airbags on the drivers or passengers side did not deploy. The truck flipped several times. The drivers seat also lifted up and was split in to.
