I was driving my Saab 900 convertible and while driving down the road the passanger airbag deployed. I immediatly pulled over and as I was checking to find out what the noise was the driver's side airbag deployed. The airbag broke my windshield and immediatly after they deployed the SRS light came on and the warning light indicator came on. I will be taking the car to have it inspected by a certified Saab repair shop. The mechanic is guessing at this point that the computer system failed causing the spontaneous deployment. Had I have been driving on a busy road or a highway this could have potentially been an accident causing incident. Fortunatly for me and others traveling this was not the case.

Saab refuses to follow up on a confirmed (media-published) recall announced in Nov 2002 (3 months ago) concerning random airbag deployment. Saab corporate refuses to specify vins or give any planned resolution, and the Saab dealers confirm that my car is likely to be affected, but no one will take any action yet, and Saab is dragging their feet! isn't their a time limit for them to start this recall" how do we escalate this situation, pls"

While driving the vehicle dash lights are continuously illuminated. Took vehicle to dealer, and nothing was remedied. Main computer may be the reason for the malfunction. Also, brakes are failing and airbags do not work.
