| On march 17, 2003, i was travelling eastbound on waters avenue when a hartline bus stopped two cars ahead of me. i came to a complete stop as the bus was letting passengers on and off. a female driving a ford taurus was travelling 45 miles per hour and swerved to avoid my truck. she hit the rear bumper, shattering the back window of my chevy s10. the truck proceeded to be lifted up and was thrusted into the suv ahead of me. as i tried to get out of my driver's side door, i noticed it was jammed. i took of my seatbelt and proceeded to get out my passenger door. that is when i noticed that neither airbag had gone off. noticing that, and also noticing her airbag was deployed. i proceeded to ask the police officer if my airbag should have deployed. he replied, "yes it should have gone off and you're lucky you were wearing a seatbelt or you would have sustained serious injury due to hitting the windshield." i went to town and country hospital and was informed that i had sustained lower back strain and whiplash. my truck was a total loss because the frame was bent. i purchased the chevy s10 because it had airbags and i felt i would be safe in an accident. i would like to know any information of any recalls or problems with airbags of the chevy s10s. i feel this is a very serious situation and was very lucky i wasn't more seriously injured. i hope that my inquiry into this matter is taken seriously. sincerely yours, kevin s. feldman | |||

| When attempting to back the truck up, the backs of the seats are too high and it obstructs my view. one night while trying to back my truck up in my yard, my view was too obstructed and i hit a tree. the tailgate of my truck was down, and was damaged. it is un-repairable. i was backing up at about 5 mph, so the airbags didn't open. this has been a problem from the beginning. i haven't contacted the manufacturer, but if you advise me to do so, i will. the anti-lock brakes just went made a grinding noise and i had to almost push them to the floor to stop...i was going 35-40 mph and someone in front of me slammed on their brakes. since then, the brakes scrub and make a grinding noise if i don't stop gradually. the brake pads were looked at and are okay. i'm not a mechanic, but if it's not the pads, then what is it??? noone was injured in either incident, but i'd like to know if there have been any other complaints about the seats. i'm almost 6 feet tall and can't see over them, and barely see around them. that's dangerous!...as is the braking system.*ak | |||
