Warning Light On Problems of SAAB 9-3

I got into my parked vehicle as normal, closed the door and fastened my seatbelt. I then depressed the clutch pedal and inserted the key into the ignition. As I turned the key to start the car, the drivers seat side impact airbag deployed spontaneously causing temporary loss of hearing, a ringing sound in the ears, and injury to my left arm. I removed the key from the ignition and exited the vehicle. The vehicle was parked, and off/not running, in a parking lot at a local shopping mall. The vehicle was not hit, damaged, or used in any other way out of ordinary operation. There were no warning lights, sounds, or signs of disturbance in the airbag system. I went to the hospital shorter after to be treated for my injuries. The vehicle was then towed to its primary place of rest, my home.

While parked, I put my key in the ignition and started the car. My passenger side side impact airbag deployed/exploded upon engine starting. I suffered a concussion, tinnitus, and inner ear damage from the airbag exploding. Took car to a gm dealership with a SAAB technician to have car diagnosed to explain why the airbag deployed/exploded. No diagnosis made. But they did read error code saying airbag sensor communication failure after airbag deployed/exploded. No warning lights were lit prior to incident. There were no service codes prior to incident either. (I had car checked 1 week prior to incident).
