Consumer Description

ON DECEMBER 7, 2017, I GOT INTO MY VEHICLE AND SHORTLY AFTER STARTING THE IGNITION, BUT WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STILL IDLE AND IN PARK, THE DRIVER'S SIDE AIRBAG SPONTANEOUSLY DEPLOYED WHILE I WAS PUTTING ON MY SEAT BELT. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A LOCAL CHEVY DEALERSHIP WHERE IT REMAINS. GM CENTRAL CLAIMS UNIT WILL NOT RETURN MY VEHICLE TO ME. INSTEAD, THEY OFFERED TO PURCHASE IT FROM ME FOR $3,300. GM CENTRAL CLAIMS UNIT WILL NOT GIVE ME ANY INFORMATION REGARDING THE REASON FOR THE AIR BAG MALFUNCTION. THEY TOLD ME IT WAS CONFIDENTIAL.
