Description of the problem | I was trying to miss a deer unsuccessfully and went off road and the side of road had a bank drop off and as i was trying to get my 2015 silverado 1500 back on the road the rear end started sliding down then my truck tuck off down embankment and rested on a couple trees one of which i hit head on. After i came too i looked down and noticed my airbag had not came out on the steering wheel just on the sides. So i was thinking maybe my truck was not hurt that bad. As you can see from the photos that i was lucky to be alive and to pay this much money for a vehicle and the air bags that is supposed to save your life does not work makes me really upset even though i really loved my truck. Accident early mornings of october 7, 2017. |
