My 17 year old son was driving on ice and started to slide and he slid into a ditch. No damage was done to the outside of the car, he was driving approx. 15 mph and once the car was pulled out of the ditch it was driven the rest of the way home. Both airbags deployed, the passenger side deployed w/ such force that it shattered the windshield and the drivers side had enough force that it hit my son in the face hard enough to shove his head into the headrest.

Air bag light stays on. Scanner says do not drive. Passenger side air bag. Called GM and they said there are no recalls on air bags. I noticed that there was a similar problem with the 1999 air bags on drivers side. Has anyone else had a complaint? the air bags should have a lifetime warranty.

I was stopped in traffic when struck from behind by a car traveling well in excess of the 35 mph limit who never touched his brakes. Upon impact I was driven into a truck stopped about 7 feet in front of me. My car was declared totaled by his insurance company with major damage to the front and rear. Neither of my air bags deployed. I sustained a left shoulder/arm and left side neck injury which I started treatment on the next day. Treatment has hopefully completed as of surgery on 7/16/2001 to remove dics, repair vertebrae, and place a titainum plate in my neck except of course 6-8 weeks of recovery from the surgery. In addition to medical cost, I, due to this accident have been not allowed to work for all but about 6 weeks in the 7 months since the accident and of course the 6-8 weeks left. I feel had the air bags deployed I would have not received any of the injuries I suffered. When this failure was addressed to the Pontiac dealer it was stated that evidently the impact was not enough; that I doubt based on test I have seen and the damage to my car.

I have had two car accidents. In both accidents the air bags did not come out and the seat belts offered no protection either. The design of the neck restrain allowed my neck to go back causing severe injury to a disc. If the saftey system failed one time I wondered. But failed twice the car or design has problems. When first purchasing my car they had to replace the shifter when I bought the car. Again I am having the same problem will not shift out of park.
