Grand Prix rear ended a semi trailer. It appeared to have a driver's side airbag. No airbags deployed in the vehicle. There was significant intrusion into the passenger compartment. I seemed the injuries could have been less had an air bag deployed. Unsure of factors leading to non deployment. Requesting investigation of the airbags as to failure of some mechanical nature or if there was some form of fraud or other alteration to the airbags. Patient was transported after being sedated. Unsure of current condition of patient. Passenger was transported to froedert memorial lutheran hospital via flight for life for level 1 trauma care.

On July 26, 2004 my 1995 Pontiac Grand Prix's air bags deployed for no reason. I was exiting my garage and as I proceeded forward about 5-10 feet the air bags both went off shattering my windsheild. It burned my face, hands and my arms. I was taken to the emergency room and diagnosed with multiple first degree burns. I immediately called my insurance company and explained what had happened. I was told that it was a manufacture defect and that if there was no collision that it was not my insurance responsibility. I then called GM and explained to them what had happened. I was told that an investigator would come to check things out. Meanwhile I have to rent a vehicle. Approx. 10 days later gms investigator arrived to take my statement, pictures and took the mdules from the car to bench test. At that time I was told that GM would probably reimburse my rental expenses. 7 weeks into the investigation and now GM wants to purchase my vehicle. I still to date am driving a rental at my own expense.
