I own a 2002 chevy monte carlo. At the beginning of november 2003 the quages on the dash board (tachometor, speedometor, ABS light, air bag light, check engine light ect.) would flash on & off and guages would sweep up and down. On november 9th I stop to get gas and shut the car off. When I got back in the car and turn it on the passanger side air bag deployed. On november 24th while I was driving the driver air bag deployed. I took the car both time to the dealer and was told by gm that they will not fix the air bags. About a year ago I bumped a car in front of me while stop in traffic and it made a 1 inch crack in my bumper the air bags did not deploy at that time. Gm states the accident that happen a year ago is why the air bags deployed in november. They advised me to call my insurance company. I took the car to the insurance and they confirm that the air bag deployment was not cause by the accident. My insurance is working with me to get gm to take responsibilty for the defect. They advised me to also file a complaint with you.

Air bags: frontal
- What is wrong
- Certain passenger, mini vans, and sport utility vehicles have an air bag inflator on the driver's side that could fracture at a weld during a deployment.
- Risk
- Pieces of the inflator could strike and injure vehicle occupants and the air bag cushion would not inflate fully, reducing the capability of the bag to protect the driver.
- Remedy
- Dealers will inspect, and replace, if necessary, the air bag module assembly on the driver's side. Owner notification began august 15, 2002.
