While driving we hit another car on its side I wont get in to big details but the other cars air bags went off and not ours, why didn't they go off and what is the point of buying a car that would "save or lives" if the main thing we paid for did not work? the accident was at about 10-20 mph. The car hydroplaned in to the other we had a full car the driver and passengers weigh more than 160lbs each. I have some physical pain, including beck and back sprain.
While driving on the hwy in chevy. 2003 Impala at 65 mph my airbags deployed for no reason. There is considerable damage to the car and I have made many attempts to contact gm with no response.
: the contact stated the srs light is illuminated. The dealer replaced the sir coil and then determined the air bag would have to be replaced. There is an NHTSA recall, # 02v222000, regarding the frontal air bags. The vehicle has the same problems as indicated in the recall; however it is not included in the recall due to the VIN.
