I got into my car Friday at 12:30 shut the door started it and the side airbag hit me shoved me sideways I turn the car off because I could smell the powder and I was afraid another one would go off. My arm around the elbow area hurts and my arm feels burned from about my armpit to my wrist. Between my shoulder blades and my neck hurt and I've had a headache since. I depend on my car being on the ambulance and the deputy coroner for boise county I could be in my car during the day or in the middle of the night and I'm afraid now to drive it.
Side air bags deployed going down road for no reason.
On December 27, 2015, we were driving on the freeway 465 in indianapolis; we were on the left lane, approx. 65 miles per hour when we heard a huge explosion. My husband was driving and was able to control DE car and drive to the right where we were able to stop the car. The smell of burning was pretty intense, we were nervous and shook up for what had happened so my husband steps outside to view the vehicle and the vehicle doesn't have a scratch nothing showing that we hit something, he looked at the road and everything was clear. We call our insurance for a towing truck and they told us to call 911 for a faster service. When I call 911 they told me the police was not able to get involved because it was not an accident. After 1 hour waiting for towing truck, my husband decides to turn the car back on, and it did. Nothing was wrong with the engine, tiers, nothing. We pull the side airbags up and hold them with the car windows and drove to the dealership. Gm is telling us they can't find why DE air bags deployed, but they told allstate that we must off hit something close to the front driver wheel, and we have already research all the issues, and it's telling us that the airbags can't be deployed for that reason. We were very lucky with some bruises in our arms and neck, but we would like to know if this has to do with any recalls or system malfunctioning.
Been having off and on problems with driver side air bag coming on and off. It will appear for maybe a week then go off totally for months. I took it in to the dealer where I bought and they ran a test and said it would be over 400. 00 to fix. Not sure what to do as this is just once in awhile service airbag! has there been any other problems with this make and model. ? not sure what to do. Hate spending all this money if it is just a fluke. Thank you for your help on this matter.
