1 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 02/07/2015

Please call about these problems with these cars, 888-327-4236 is how I think anything will get done, just called today 02-20-15. Gas gauge went out 02-07-15 ( millage 40000) and is hitting against my temp gauge so I don't know how hit my car is getting. I replaced my temp gauge back in 01-07-12 millage(29111) cause it was hitting against my speedometer<--- this was not replaced but I dont think till this day it shows the right speed. Air bags did not work back in 2006 crash no fault of the car then, someone hit me, so dont even know if they will. Called gm about that in 2012 and told me there was nothing that could be done. Forgot to tell kimmy about this problem today. Good luck getting these problems fixed. I have to drive my kids and family around only car I have so I hope something is fixed before we get hurt. And I hope for the ones that fixed these repairs get there money back if they find it to be a issue. .

2 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 05/18/2014

Daughter was driving to go to another location when stopped for light. Light turned green had some one in front of her and since it is a stick shift she just let the car roll. She panicked I think and hit clutch instead of brake. She rolled into the back of the SUV ahead of her and the airbags exploded in the car. She was only going 4 miles an hour. No damage to the car in front of her no front damage to our car except the air bags and breakage of front window. Daughter was hit in face by airbag and the fingers cut with with the window breaking. She has received 2 black eyes and said she was very disoriented when the airbag hit her. We are very concerned about this. We have had the car for 3 years and have not been in any accidents fontal wise. I went through to see if we had a carfax on this car. The compay told that there had not been in any accidents. My concern is that if I was driving the car I am short and with it being a clutch I have to sit close. So I really would have been hurt. Why would the airbags explode at only 4 miles an hour? please respond soon as this has to be taken care of for the insurance. Thank you.
