| Description of the problem | I own a 2008 hummer h3 alpha. Yesterday, 9-18-2010 the side curtain airbags deployed for no reason. I have a bruise on the side of my face, a cut on my neck, and my ear is still ringing. There are several reports of this happening on hummer h3's posted on the internet, and from what i'm reading, gm is not replacing the airbags. |
