Consumer Description

ON THE MORNING OF AUGUST 8, 2009, I WAS DRIVING MY 1996 OLDSMOBILE EIGHTY EIGHT ON NORTHBOUND US-27, NEAR ALMA, MICHIGAN. AT ONE POINT THE AIR BAG LIGHT ON MY DASHBOARD CAME ON. SHORTLY THEREAFTER, BOTH THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED SPONTANEOUSLY. I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO MENTION THAT IT WAS RAINING QUITE HEAVILY PRIOR TO AND THROUGHOUT THIS INCIDENT. MY CAR IS IN THE PROCESS OF BEING REPAIRED. THE FRONT WINDSHIELD WAS SHATTERED AND IS BEING REPLACED. THE DASHBOARD NEEDS TO BE REPAIRED AND THE AIR BAGS ARE BEING REMOVED. I ALSO HAD TO RENT A VEHICLE FOR A WEEK IN ORDER TO KEEP PRIOR ENGAGEMENTS. *TR
