I was driving along. About 20mph. Started to go over some really bad railroad tracks. All of a sudden my airbag deployed. I didn't hit anything. I didn't run into anything. And nothing hit me. It was just all of a sudden. Because of the position my arm was on the steering wheel I had initially thought that it snapped my arm in two. However. It isn't broken. But I do have very minor burns from the chemical from the airbag. I contacted Buick main customer service line but they act like they didn't want to do anything about it.
