“The contact owned a 2006 Saturn Vue. The contact stated that while driving at a slow speed under the 50 MPH speed limit, the vehicle slid on a patch of black ice; the contact was able to correct the vehicle. The contact stated that there was snow on the ground. Soon afterwards, the vehicle slid on another patch of black; the vehicle slid across the road and hit the embankment head-on. The vehicle went up the embankment and down to the ditch below, where the vehicle landed on the driver's side, where it came to a stop. No warning lights were illuminated. The contact stated that none of the air bags deployed. A police report was filed. Afterwards, the contact and the contact's daughter stopped by the clinic. The contact suffered minor injuries to the chest caused by the seat belt. The contact had bruises across the chest. The contact's daughter was in the front passenger seat, and her head hit the windshield. The daughter sustained a bump on the head, which turned out to be a mild concussion, and some bruises. The vehicle was towed to the residence. The insurance company was notified of the accident. The contact was unsure if the insurance company had declared…”

“TRIED TO HAVE THE CAR INSPECTED AND THEY TOLD ME IT WOULDN'T PASS INSPECTION BECAUSE OF MY AIRBAG LIGHT ON . THEY DID A DIAGNOSTIC AND IT SAID MY PASSENGER SEAT WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED OR GET THE SENSOR FOR THE PART. UNFORTUNATELY THE DON'T MAKE THE PIECES FOR THE CAR ANYMORE . YOU HAVE TO GO TO A JUNK YARD , BUT EVEN THEY HAVEN'T HAD ANY ANY OF THE PIECES.”

“THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT COMES ON WHEN IT IS HOT OUTSIDE AND WILL STAY ON FOR SEVERAL DAYS WHILE IN MOTION AND WHILE STATIONARY, ON CITY STREETS AND ON THE HIGHWAY. IT MAY GO OFF FOR A LITTLE BIT, SUCH AS 5 MILES, THEN COME BACK ON OR IT MAY STAY ON. THESE DAYS CAN BE BOTH HOT AND HUMID OR JUST HOT WITH NOT A LOT OF HUMIDITY. I AM CONCERNED BECAUSE OF POSSIBLE DEPLOYMENT WHICH COULD CAUSE INJURY OR MAYBE IT WON'T DEPLOY AT ALL IF IT WAS IN A CRASH. I HAD THE COMPUTER SYSTEM READ ON 6/25/2018 AND WAS TOLD IT IS SHOWING THAT IT IS SOMETHING IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE SUMMER 2015.”

“I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCEING PROBLEMS WITH MY IGNITION SWITCH AND SMOKE COMING FROM MY AIRBAG. ANYTIME I GET INTO MY CAR AND PUT THE KEY IN THE IGNITION, IT LOCKS AND WON'T LET ME TURN THE KEY, IT TAKES SEVERAL TRIES BEFORE IT TURNS OVER. ONCE THE CAR IS ON AND DRIVING ON CITY STREETS LIGHT SMOKE WILL COME FROM THE AIRBAG. I IMMEDIATELY WOULD PULL OVER AND STOP THE CAR AND WAIT FOR A WHILE BEFORE HEADING HOME. THIS HAS HAPPEN SEVERAL TIMES WITH IN THE LAST 2 MONTHS. I'M CONCERNED THE AIRBAG WILL DEPLOY PREMATURELY WITHOUT AN ACCIDENT. I DON'T HAVE A PHOTO OR DOCUMENTS, HOWEVER I HAVE MADE AN APPOINTMENT WITH A GMC DEALERSHIP. PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF THERE IS ADDITIONAL INFORMATION. THANK YOU”

“WHILE I WAS SITTING IN MY CAR WAITING FOR MY DAUGHTER TO GET OUT OF WORK, THE CAR WAS RUNNING, WHEN THERE WAS SMOKE POURING FROM THE STEERING COLUMN. I IMMEDIATELY SHUT THE CAR OFF AND THE SMOKE DISSIPATED. THIS WAS 2 DAYS AGO AND NOW MY WIPERS DO NOT WORK. MY MECHANIC SAID THAT THE AIR BAG WIRES HAD CAUGHT FIRE AND BURNED OUT THE WIPERS.”
