The passenger curtain side and driver side airbags deployed after making a sharp left hand turn out of a turnout upon trying to reenter the roadway. The tires lost traction for a brief moment and the airbags were deployed over my head on both the right and left side of the vehicle. The seatbelt pretensioners also actuated and tightened very hard. The cab was filled with white smoke and my vision was lost momentarily. I was traveling to words the roadway but managed to stop previous to entering the road. There was oncoming traffic and I was also burned and my neck very severely injured due to the nature of the violent explosion right next to my head. My left eardrum is also permanently ruptured due to this event. My vehicle was located on a mountan road in southern California highway 2. Had this happened in a corner on the actual roadway the consiquences may have been much more severe. Again nothing at all was struck during the deployment and nothing has been hit since. I took the car to the dealer that morning they gave me a loaner but still after a week had nit even looked at the car and informed me I would have to pay for the rental. Whe n I was able to get out of bed I returned to the dealer returned the car and took mine back. I contacted lawyer after l lawyer bone of which wanted to help. I was forced to go back to work as I am self employed and have no other means of supporting myself. The problem is still not fixed and my medical issues still persist.
Passenger side air bag sensor in seat is defective, continues to go on and off when someone is sitting in passenger side of car. Or when I have my laptop in the passenger seat. Chevrolet will not acknowledge there is a problem. It appears to be a bad design or defective parts. Car has not been in any accidents that I know of and no kids usually ride in front seat.
