• 09/17/1999· AIR BAGS

  BOTH AIRBAGS DEPLOYED WHILE DRIVING 20 MPH. THERE WAS NO ACCIDENT. I CONTACTED CHEVROLET AND THEY HAD MY VEHICLE TOWED TO THE NEAREST DEALERSHIP. THEY CALLED ME BACK THE NEXT DAY TO SAY THAT THERE WAS DAMAGE UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE THAT CAUSED THE AIRBAGS TO DEPLOY SO THEY WOULD DO NOTHING FOR ME. AFTER THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED THE CAR MADE A LOUD NOISE WHILE RUNNING WHICH IT WAS NOT MAKING PRIOR TO THE INCIDENT. CHEVY SAID THAT I HAD HIT SOMETHING VERY HARD AND IT BENT THE FRAME ON THE UNDERNEATH OF THE CAR WHICH INTERN CAUSED THE LOUD NOISE. MY PROBLEM WITH THIS IS THAT THE CAR WAS RUNNING PERFECT PRIOR TO THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYING AND THERE WAS ABSOLUTELY NO NOISE WHILE THE CAR WAS RUNNING. ALSO, THERE IS NO DAMAGE TO THE BODY OF THE VEHICLE AT ALL. THE PERSON AT DON MEALY CHEVROLET IN ORLANDO, FL THAT INSPECTED MY CAR SAID THAT I PROBABLY HIT SOMETHING PRIOR TO THIS INCIDENT THAT CAUSED THE AIRBAGS TO BE ACTIVATED AND AFTER THAT POINT SOMETHING AS LITTLE AS GOING OVER A SPEED BUMP COULD HAVE CAUSED THE AIRBAGS TO DEPLOY. WHAT I DO NOT UNDERSTAND IS THAT IF THE DAMAGE UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE IS WHAT CAUSED THE AIRBAGS TO DEPLOY, AND IF THE NOISE THAT THE VEHICLE IS MAKING NOW AFTER THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED IS FROM THIS DAMAGE THAT SUPPOSEDLY HAPPENED SOMETIME PRIOR TO THIS IS THE CAUSE OF THE LOUD NOISE THE CAR IS PRODUCING, WHY WAS THE CAR RUNNING PERFECT PRIOR TO THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYING FOR NO REASON? I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHAT I CAN DO, IF ANYTHING? I DO NOT HAVE AN ESTIMATE ON THE DAMAGE YET BECAUSE CHEVY WOULD NOT TELL THE ESTIMATED COST OF DAMAGE UNLESS I SIGNED A RELEASE FOR THEM TO FIX THE VEHICLE, BUT I DO KNOW THAT THE DAMAGE IS EXTENSIVE.

THE ACCIDENT THEN TURNED INTO MAJOR- CONTINUED ACCELERATION, WENT AIRBORNE, LANDED FRONT UP AT 80 DEGREE ANGLE ON HILLSIDE, AFTER SPINNING IN AIR. EVERY PANEL ON CAR WAS DAMAGED EXCEPT TWO DOORS.IF PASSENGER HAD BEEN IN REAR SEAT HE WOULD HAVE BEEN CRUSHED BY IMPACT OF SEAT DRIVING BACKWARD INTO THE RECLINE POSTION.
