What owners wrote
Air bags failed to deploy in a crash. The frame of our 2005 chevrolet tahoe was buckled in the crash. Crash test data was retrieved from the vehicle, although general motors does not feel that they are in a position to honor our request for damages against them. My husband and I both received back and neck injuries during the accident.
