What owners wrote
Dear safety officer, this is to bring to your attention that I wish to pursue legal action against GMC. My life was at risk in an accident. As it is accidents are un-welcomed, to add to it the safety feature (airbags) from my GMC vehicle chasis no [xxx],origin canada,register in uae did not function at all. A deploy sign appeared on the display, but none of the airbags functioned as required. The vehicle was purchased brand new less than a year ago under warranty with complete service history.
Vehicle was involved in a severe accident where the other driver ran a stop sign and hit terrain causing severe front end and engine damage. Air bags failed to deploy. Injures included were neck and back. Damage was severe enough to cause airbags to deploy but never did . Having an indept inspection conducted as to why they never deployed.
