NHTSA complaint: 1998 PONTIAC GRAND PRIX — AIR BAGS:FRONTAL
MY 17 YEAR OLD SON WAS DRIVING ON ICE AND STARTED TO SLIDE AND HE SLID INTO A DITCH. NO DAMAGE WAS DONE TO THE OUTSIDE OF THE CAR, HE WAS DRIVING APPROX. 15 MPH AND ONCE THE CAR WAS PULLED OUT OF THE DITCH IT WAS DRIVEN THE REST OF THE WAY HOME. BOTH AIRBAGS DEPLOYED, THE PASSENGER SIDE DEPLOYED W/ SUCH FORCE THAT IT SHATTERED THE WINDSHIELD AND THE DRIVERS SIDE HAD ENOUGH FORCE THAT IT HIT MY SON IN THE FACE HARD ENOUGH TO SHOVE HIS HEAD INTO THE HEADREST. *TR
