2009 Hummer H3 SUT Air bags Problems

“I was on my way home from dropping off a friend and just before I turned into my street I hit a pot hole and I've hit this pot hole many times as it is before my street. But this time the side airbags deployed, onstar contacted me immediately to see if I needed assistance I declined, I took the vehicle to the dealer the next day and reported it to GM as well.”

“I drove over a pothole going 15mph and my rollover airbags deployed. All 4 wheels were on the ground and there was no rollover. The vehicle never broke 5 degrees from upright. This happened on rampart range road in woodland park, co.”

“Traveling at 5mph on neighborhood gravel road, side curtain airbags deployed without any warning. No collision or accident. Entire system went into crash mode and fired seat belt tensioners, and shut down fuel. Had 2 passengers in vehicle, all were uninjured. Was forced to cut airbags off ceiling to see out, and drive vehicle to closest garage. Incident was captured on video by passenger using a gopro camera, showing the exterior conditions and lack of terrain related causes. …”
