NHTSA complaint: 1995 OLDSMOBILE 88 — AIR BAGS:SIDE/WINDOW
I WAS DRIIVING ON I-70 IN PA AT APPROXIMATELY 60-65 MPH WHEN THE DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG EXPLODED. I CONTROLLED THE CAR AND PULLED OVER, CONTACTED THE STATE POLICE AND A REPORT WAS FILED. ABOUT 40 MILES FURTHER DOWN THE INTERSTATE, THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG EXPLODED SHATTERING 2/3 OF THE WINDSHIELD. AGAIN I PULLED OVER AND WE GOT OUT OF THE CAR. I WAS ABLE TO DROVE TO OUR MOTEL IN DC. I HAVE CONTACTED OLDSMOBILE AND THEY HAD MY CAR INSPECTED ON 7-9-02. I WAS TOLD I WOULD BE CONTACTED IN 1 TO 2 BUSINESS DAYS, HOWEVER, NO ONE FROM OLDMOBILE HAS CONTACTED ME. I HAVE CALLED THEM SEVERAL TIMES, HOWEVER, NO ONE WILL TALK TO ME ABOUT THE FINDINGS IN THE INSPECTION. MY MOTHER AND DAUGHTER (WHO WERE TRAVELLING WITH ME) AND I COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED WHEN THE AIRBAGS EXPLODED. I AM EXTREMELY FRUSTRATED AND ANGRY WITH THE LACK OF CONCERN OR RESPONSE FROM OLDSMOBILE.PSOAT LEYI OIH LIN LIRTHE WIDNEDSOLMNVIN. *AK
