Just few minutes ago around 5:45 PM, Monday, September 8th 2025. I started my engine with the remote start in my drive way. After about 30 seconds there was a series of 3 or 4 violent explosions each with a 1 or two second interval. The driver side, passenger side and both side air bags deployed fracturing my windshield and causing other potential internal damage to the passenger compartment. I feel very fortunate that I wasn't seated in the vehicle at the time as I'm sure I could have been severely injured or potentially killed. I had taken the car in for an air-bag recall a couple of years ago at Good Chevrolet in Renton, WA.

I received a recall notice on my truck for the airbags from a local dealer in late 2020. The dealer who sent the notice was not the dealer i purchased from originally and was over 40 miles away . When i tried to set up an appointment with the original dealer they had no record of a recall for my vin # , Nor does this site ! My truck is a 2007 that i originally leased in June of 2006 and bought out the lease when it was up. I believe what has happened is at that time my model was a body style they only made a short run of and within a few months came out with a new body style for 2007 , and that myself and others with the early 2007 model got lost in this process . My passenger side Airbag Warning Light is on and i believe a clear and present danger as i drive.

In 2021, drove off the road inadvertently at 65mph, traveled about 200 yards across a ditch and thru scrub trees and came to rest when front bumper hit against a tree. NEITHER front air bags inflated.....both front air bags should be in this recall. Both seat belts on...I sustained minor head trauma as did my passenger which could have been prevented with air bag inflation. The truck was totaled and both my passenger and I are lucky to be alive. Once again, NEITHER front air bag inflated.....both front air bags should be in this recall.
