1994 Buick Lesabre Air bags Problems

“While turning left at a stop sign another vehicle come up the hill on the left and collided with consumer's vehicle. Consumer was wearing seat belts, but, the air bags did not deploy. The police did arrive on the seen but nobody was cited. Consumer sustained minor head injuries.”

“The driver rear ended another vehicle while driving. As a result the passenger side air bag deployed and caused burns to the passengers thighs. The fumes emitted from the air bag also caused eye irritation and breathing problems. The passenger has developed asthma and has continued to experience eye irritation. The master cylinder was replaced because it leaked. The calipers were degreased, the alternator was replaced and the drivers side door locks were replaced.”

“The vehicle was involved in a collision in which the passenger side air bags deployed upwards. The consumer slammed on the brakes and they did not respond. The vehicle was totaled and the entire front end was pushed in. The driver side air bags deployed but the passenger side did not, instead it just blew in the consumer's wife's face. (in which she suffered injuries) the brakes had to be cleaned of grease when the consumer first took ownership of the vehicle and a few weeks later the master cylinder had to be replaced.”

“While driving at 45 MPH on wet pavement, vehicle involved in frontal impact when ABS did not kick in after brakes were applied. Neither airbag deployed. Vehicle was totalled. Dealer not aware of problems which still exist.”

“Upon collision, driver side air bag did not deploy, it was still folded in the center of the steering wheel, passenger side air bag had deployed, 2 holes had melted in the driver side air bag, a canister was removed from the dash board wher it was burning wires and electrical components.”
