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.
