What owners wrote
This complaint is being filed on behalf of the vehicle owner and driver. This chevy trailblazer was involved in a two vehicle, double fatal crash. The front of the trailblazer struck the driver's side door of a cavalier that failed to yield from a stop sign. The trailblazer stayed connected with the cavalier, forcing it off the left side of the roadway and into a large tree. Both occupants in the cavalier were fatally injured.
While driving on a dirt road that only fits on car, I was involved in a head on collision involving a jeep cherokee. There was extensive front damage however, the airbag did not deploy nor did onstar contact me. I have very painful neck, head, shoulder, and right arm pain.
