Description of the problem	On february 7th the driver side airbag spontaneously deployed as my family and i were driving home from the store. We contacted gm to find out if there were any recalls on our vehicle. We were instructed there were not and we should contact gm customer service. On february 11th they had us take our vehicle to a gm dealership where they conducted and investigation to determine why. Gm returned our vehicle to us on march 3rd stating the airbag deployment was caused by shorted wires in the wiring harness. Since our vehicle was returned to us we have had several more issues that were not present prior to the airbag deployment. The driver seat is stuck in one position, the rear windows will not work, the rear locks will not work, the fuel system is leaking gas, and the battery is dead, even having to be jump started when it was returned to us. General motors refuses to do anything to correct the problems, stating these problems are not a manufacturer defect. However, when the airbag blew, while we were driving down the road, there was significant smoke inside the dash, we believe the airbag burnt/shorted the wires after it deployed. Gm claim number [xxx]. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).
