9 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 09/30/1999

Hit a cement parking block at 2mph and the airbags deployed-contacted customer service at chevy(most unprofessional) they said airbags were to deploy with frontal crash-they would not give any other information. Ran around for 14 days. Was told that a pothole or a speedbump could set them off at the right angle. 2500 dollars to replace.
