Description of the problem | I purchased a 2008 pontiac g6 new for my daughter, she was driving down the freeway at 80 mph which is the speed limit on i-15 near malad idaho and the drivers side airbag deployed for no reason at all. Luckily no crash followed but easily could have been. Gm hasn't done anything yet or even offered to fix the car. I don't understand why if there had been an injury they would have easily been deemed liable and but with no injury they figure no foul. That could have easily killed my daughter. Now we have a car that we are afraid to drive since it may happen again. |
