On may 1st 2009, while I was driving my 2006 chevy Malibu on the highway, the airbags of the driver and passenger side were deployed. I was hit by the airbag and lost control of my vehicle. According to the other driver, I hit her car from the behind. I was blacked out at that moment and can't not recall the accident. Luckily, neither of the cars did not have any obvious damage. I sent my car to chevy dealer and the chevy engineer diagnosed a malfunctioned sensor that mis-triggered the airbags and they fixed it for free. I do not file this complaint for compensation. I just want people to be aware of this problem because it could be very dangerous on the road. Thank you very much your time!.
