| On saturday, 07/12/2008, i was driving approximately 45 mph on a paved city road in dry, sunny weather. without warning or an accident, both side curtain airbags deployed suddenly in my 2007 chevrolet avalanche. as advised by onstar and a local chevrolet service dealer, i took the truck into the chevrolet dealership for repair on the following monday morning (07/14/08). on the 1st day of drop-off/damage evaluation and diagnosis, the chevy dealership advised me that general motors had agreed to make repairs to my truck and pay my rental vehicle charges. i inquired about what caused the airbag deployment and was told by my service adviser that he did not know and that g.m. had advised him to provide a rental vehicle for me, order repair parts, and send in the damaged parts to g.m. . two days later, the service supervisor contacted me and stated that i have scrapes on my (right-sided) rims/tires and that g.m. is now refusing to cover this repair and that i am to file an insurance claim. this unwarranted airbag deployment could have easily caused a serious or fatal driving injury. i believe that a safety recall board should investigate this immediately. there was no collision and there is no body damage to my vehicle. i have digital pictures that document this. *tr | |||
