Driving down the road last night and

Bam
Bam
Bam
Bam

One at a time.

Hell, I thought some was shooting at me or someone had plowed into the side of me.

This is your big chance for a pay day!!

Start documenting the pain and suffering it’s caused you.

Scared the shite out me.

I'm not hurt in any way and thankfully I was on a back road and was able to pull over in some grass. But holy frick!

According to reddit:

quote:

Even if the airbag is dangerously defective, you're only entitled to be compensated for the money damages that you have suffered. It sounds like that's a replacement airbag and your fiancee's medical expenses.

My left side is a little sore. If I had been on a major road driving fast it could have been bad. When the front driver one blew I did lose control for a few seconds.

But thankfully I was on a back road and had just started accelerating after sitting at a,stop sign.

Anything you type on this board can and will be used against you in a court of law. Time to lawyer up.

You should get free oil changes and a free extended warranty, at least. Talk to a lawyer, though.

I'm not going to sue anyone. But damn, if I'd been on the interstate or driving fast it could have been bad for me and anyone around me. Because I did lose control when the front driver one hit me.

Thankfully I was going slow and was able to get stopped.

It makes no sense to me why it would happen.

I guess its just par for a shitty week.

Could be faulty wiring or you might have done some damage to the under carriage. Sucks that happened, hopefully Chevy will pay for the repairs, as that shite ain’t cheap, AND make sure you try to get that documented, so you do not lose resale value

What are the truck details/

Also, enjoy paying to get them reinstalled. If it's remotely newish, I'd be at the dealership first thing Monday morning raising some hell.

That is seriously messed up. I’m glad it didn’t cause you to wreck. Would’ve startled the hell out of me.

Happened to me. A small piece of a tire in the road flipped up when I drove over it, whacked the airbag sensor and blew the seat, side curtain and front airbags. It was a freak deal I guess.
