The air bag was pushing through the dashboard on the consumers 1998 Buick Regal. She noticed this on 7-21-05. She took it in on the 22nd and they said the clip was broken. The dealer said they could glue it down but then it might not work in the event of an accident. They said that right now, if anyone was riding in the passenger seat, it might kill them and it would break the window. She is not driving the vehicle. She has not talked to General Motors. There is no air bag light on in the vehicle. She has not wrecked the car. She has only had the car about 6 months and it was not like that at a all when she bought it.
