What owners wrote
I have seen the news when the 5 high school seniors in new york, may 2008 I believe, were killed and then just 3-4 weeks ago, oct 2008, the news reported a young mother was killed out west. Both accidents involved a front end collision and both where mid-size GM suvs (chevrolet trailblazer, GMC envoy, buick rainer). Both accidents resulted in fires and deaths. The news reported the fire was to intense to attempt a rescue in the new york case.
My son was in an accident in his 2006 trailblazer. He was crossing a city street intersection when another vehicle struck his truck on the drivers side at an estimated 40+MPH, the truck flipped and slid about 15-20 feet. None of the airbags deployed.
