| I was driiving on i-70 in pa at approximately 60-65 mph when the driver side airbag exploded. i controlled the car and pulled over, contacted the state police and a report was filed. about 40 miles further down the interstate, the passenger side airbag exploded shattering 2/3 of the windshield. again i pulled over and we got out of the car. i was able to drove to our motel in dc. i have contacted oldsmobile and they had my car inspected on 7-9-02. i was told i would be contacted in 1 to 2 business days, however, no one from oldmobile has contacted me. i have called them several times, however, no one will talk to me about the findings in the inspection. my mother and daughter (who were travelling with me) and i could have been killed when the airbags exploded. i am extremely frustrated and angry with the lack of concern or response from oldsmobile.psoat leyi oih lin lirthe widnedsolmnvin. *ak | |||
