2 Side/window Air Bag problem of the 1999 Oldsmobile Alero

Failure Date: 04/15/2003

Dear sirs, contacting you to make you aware of a problem with a certain model of car. The problem is that the vinyl dash of this car will peel back and over the passenger side airbag. I contacted the dealership and was only given an estimate of how much it would cost to repair the damage. I then asked the dealership why was this not a safety concern due the fact that the airbag was obviously damaged. This type of damage could make the airbag deploy for no reason a injure the passenger or even worse, not deploy upon a frontal collision. Again I was not given an answer on why this was not a concern. I thought about this and was concerned that what if the airbag deployed when not needed and there was a child in the seat. Even if the child was old enough to be in the front and was in there seat belt, I do not believe that the driver could not anything to stop any injury to the child.
