I was driving at about 15 - 20 mph trying to enter hwy I-75. Upon routine braking, the airbag deployed, causing an accident.after I hit the car in front of me, the second airbag deployed. I am hurt. The vehicle was deemed totalled because the airbags deployed, and taken away.

Takata recall I was notified by Saab in March 2016 that I have takata airbags installed and are subject to recall. It is now six (6) months since the notification. I have had no further communication from Saab. I feel that the recall should take place immediately before I get killed from the airbag inflating. Six months should be more than adequate to resolve the problem. I ask that Saab be compelled to immediately make the necessary repairs!

Takata recall I do not have a date for or my Saab air bag recall. This clearly sends a message about GM. "don't buy GM, and from those companies which place people at risk of air bag failure"

The contact owns a 2003 Saab 9-3. while driving 75 mph, the contact heard an explosion. She realized that the passenger side air bag deployed without an impact or crash occurring. The air bag injured a teenager seated in the vehicle. The teenager suffered temporary hearing loss and a chest abrasion due to the seat belt. The manufacturer agreed to send an investigator to inspect the vehicle, but this has not yet transpired. Neither the contact nor the manufacturer could determine what caused the air bag to deploy. The current and failure mileages were 91,000.
