Was parked when I turned the key to start the car the passenger side airbag and curtain deployed. No crash no impact no nothing just went off saab does not want to help!
Air bag defect(s). Eight saab certified service technician attempts to correct faulty safety system, without success. I believe this vehicle to be unsafe for on-road and/or highway travel. I have already notified saab (manufacturer) many times via email and telephone, again without follow up from manufacturer.
Airbags did not deploy in a 30-35mph frontal collision with an oncoming vehicle. Seatbelt restraint injured both passengers, but none of the airbags deployed.
