1 Front Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 02/18/2009

I was stopped at a red light and when the light turned green I made a right turn and turned to close to the curb and bumped it and both airbags deployed. The dealer says it's not their responsibility to fix, that I should call my insurance company and make a claim. My insurance says that if I make a claim I could be canceled since I have two prior claims that have been filed. All I did was catch the curb with the side of my front tire. The dealer says it will cost $2,100. 00 to repair. The car is a 1999 Saturn Sl and is not worth that. Even if I could file with my insurance they would total the car because it would cost more to repair than it is worth. I bought the car 11/26/08 and have already had to put a new water pump in it and now this.
