Front Air Bag problems of the 1998 Chevrolet Malibu

I was driving southbound on state rd. 1 after work at approximately 10:15 p. M. I crossed railroad tracks at about 32 mph and both of my airbags inadvertently discharged. This forced my rear view mirror into the windshield and cracked the windshield. Also my dashboard lights are now acting erratically and functions fail to work properly. The shock of the railroad tracks is much less than that of a speed bump at 3 mph. G. M. Has failed to send anyone to inspect the vehicle even after letting it sit at a dealership for 7 days because they originally stated they would. G. M. Two different dealerships have inspected the vehicle extensively on several occasions and both were unable to determine the cause of the deployment. I have contacted g. M. Several times and they are brushing this off like it is nothing to worry about.

While driving, the air bag deployed and cracked the windshield.

Vehicle was in a low speed, low impact collision. However, the front air bags deployed. Vehicle was moving about 10 mph.

I was involved in a minor low impact collision and the airbags deployed without inflating which offered absolutely no protection.

Consumer stated that when making a turn front air bags inadvertently deployed, causing the consumer to pull over. Dealer notified.

While driving the air bag deployed although there was no impact.

While running into another vehicle at about 2-5 mph front air bags deployed, cut the glass, and hit consumer.

Consumer's vehicle was sitting at an intersection behind another vehicle and consumer thought vehicle was moving. She lifted feet off brakes, hitting vehicle in front. Upon impact, airbags did deploy, but halfway. There was no damage to the outside of the vehicle, consumer smelled smoke coming from air bags. Dealership was aware of problem.

Vehicle rear-ended another vehicle at 35 mph in which neither air bag deployed. Driver's seat came unlatched & driver received injury to right hand & right breast. Manufacturer notified. Please feel free to provide any further details on this matter.

I purchased the vehicle from bobb chevy in 11/99, in April 2000 noticed a grinding noise when braking. Took car into a tuffy auto shop who indicated I needed complete brake job. They suggested warranty should cover vehicle repairs. So I took it to bobb at 7:30 am on 4/27/00, they completed brake job - rotors, calipers, fluid, pads and labor. This totalled $817. 01, I paid $496. 12, warranty paid the balance. On 5/17/00, coming home from work on a service road I tried to apply my brakes and found I did not have any - this was 3 wks after a total replacement. I had the option to go into an intersection, or hit a car stopped at the stop sign, but I chose to run off the road, hoping that would have stopped me. I hit a pine tree, both air bags popped out, windshield cracked, subsequently my insurance company - geico totalled the car. I suffered severe bruises, ended up in emergency, ordered to take 2 days off work for bruises, severely sprained ankle, bruises on chest & stomach from seatbelt and airbag. I have contacted the dealership, given them geico's report and police report. They suggested I contact product liability dept of Chevrolet. At this time someone from gm product asst is to contact me.

Automobile went into a trench and bottomed out, and the air bags deployed, causing the engine carriage to be damaged/cracked the windshield, and damaged the dashboard.

Went over dip in road about 2. 5 inches . Went about 4 feet, frame under car hit a manhole cover sticking up about 2inches. Both airbags deployed ,breaking drivers arm the passenger only had buring in her eyes.
