I was sitting at a red light when my air bag from the steering column deployed in my face. I did not hit anything. It was on or about 1/25/18. About a week prior to this event my horn began to steadily blow inexplicably. I did not have any reason to suspect anything other than a malfunctioning horn so I disconnected the wires to the horn. When the air bag deployed about a week later I concluded the air bag was inflating inside the steering wheel applying pressure to the horn sensor. I took it to the dealer who, after weeks of investigation, concluded they could not do anything to repair it and suggested I call General Motors customer assist center. After reviewing pictures, (no one actually physically looked at it) GM decided corrosion to the sensing module caused the problem. I contend they have a defective valve which overtime began leaking gas into the air bag, hence the issue with the blowing horn.

The contact owns a 1999 Buick Lesabre. The contact stated that the air bag deployed independently while the vehicle was parked. The contact took the vehicle to a certified mechanic who diagnosed that the air bag and air bag sensor needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and opened a case on the contact's behalf. The approximate failure mileage was 58,000.....updated 0711/16

The contact owns a 1999 Buick Lesabre. The contact stated that the air bags deployed inadvertently once the engine was started. The contact sustained injuries to the head and neck as a result of the failure. The vehicle was inspected by an adjuster sent by the manufacturer, who determined that the failure was caused by the floor mats, which had become saturated and corroded the air bag wiring over a time. The VIN was not available. The failure and the current mileage was 100,000.
