1996 Buick Skylark Air bags Problems

“The airbag exploded while I was driving the car and then caused the horn to continuously go off. Not five minutes into my drive it went off while I was accelerating from being stopped at a red light. I was pulled over on a side street when the horn started going off. The air bag bruised and burned my left arm, however medical attention was not required. I had a water leak somewhere that caused water to build up primarily on my driver side floor board, however eventually the back floor boards became wet as well. …”

“I got a letter from GM , Buick motor division, that was a customer advisory not a recall that said if my 1996 Buick has ever been wet or had water soak the floor board on the passenger side the air bags might deploy at any time due to a malfunction of the control box located under the front passenger seat. It said I need to have the car serviced asap to correct the problem if it has indeed been wet . And it has been wet on several occasions due to failure of the door gaskets and rear window seal and possibly the trunk gasket. …”

“Frontal air bags deployed while consumer was warming up the vehicle. There was no one inside the vehicle. When the airbags deployed front windshield broke on the passenger's side.”
