The next day, while starting the car, the airbag deployed in her face. I took the car to arnold palmer Oldsmobile in charlotte. The service department told me they will check on any recalls by the manufacture. After ten days, they told me there is no recall and the problem was from the horn modula. I think thy did not want to blame it on the manufacture. I would like an answer rather than a cover up.”
