So,
1. In a (small?) frontal impact, the emer flashers activate, even if the air bags don't ?
2. If the seat belt retractors activate, they have to be replaced? Do they work off of a small explosive charge like an airbag does?
Driving 70 MPH on interstate, 6” diameter rock came from nowhere striking the RF bumper. Impact was so severe 4 way flashers activated, both seat belts retracted, service airbags warning came on(air bags did not deploy), there was a pronounced hissing (?) noise and smoke coming from under the glove compartment. Keep the C7 under a controlled stop along the shoulder.
Questions I have:
1. Did the safety features operate properly? Believe there might be a recall that airbags not operating properly, however my VIN shows no recalls.
2. Do the repairs have to be made by a certified GM dealer?
3. Can the front clip be repaired or does it need to be replaced?
Yes, yes, and I'd go with a Chevrolet dealer......
