Both (driver and passenger) frontal airbags on my 1995 Buick Lesabre deployed without reason on June 27th and 28th 2015. On the 27th, the passenger airbag deployed while I was coming to a stop at a red light. No one was in the passenger seat though it spilled soda over the back seat. On the 28th the driver airbag deployed while I was driving on I76, going about 70 mph. My right wrist was injured and is red and swollen but I do not think it's broken. The horn then stayed on and I eventually pulled over and removed the fuse for it. (btw which dumb ass put the horn on the same fuse as the power locks and interior light?) in neither case was there a collision of any kind that caused the airbags to go off. I noticed an airbag light on the dashboard after the first airbag deployment, could have been on beforehand but I didn't notice it until after.

We were driving down the interstate in pa, when the airbag light came on. About ten minutes later the driver's side airbag discharged in my wife's face, then a few seconds later the other side went off. We pulled off the highway, got out of the car, raised the hood, unplugged the horns, started the engine and continued to our destination for 3 hours. As we continued up the highway the rain begun to enter the car and filled up the floorboard of the car mainly on the passenger side. We called our insurance company the next morning to get a claim started but it may not be covered, drove the car back home for over 800 miles and researched what to do.
