problem #1

Apr 102008

Bonneville 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 14,995 miles
I was driving and my air bag light came on. The light stayed on for awhile then out of no where my air bag deployed and filled my whole car with smoke and powder. I did not hit anything prior to the air bag exploding nor after. I suffer from cuts and burns on my right arm and stomach. I have not done anything to fix the problem because I am not sure what caused it. I have not drove the car since then because I cannot disconnect the passenger air bag and the car will not start without the fuse.
