Mr. Dragoi (DB), this article was not meant to be sarcastic. You would be surprised to find out how many car manufacturers that claim their cars are equiped with airbags, are in fact just ripping you off.
Why can’t you see the airbag when you buy a car? If it is not possible for the dealer to dismantle the steering wheel to show you the actual airbag, then they should design a small opening in the sttering wheel for you to see the airbag when you buy the car. They don’t do that because in that way you would not see anything in the place of the airbag. So it is more easier for them to tell you stupid stories how the airbag could deploy if you try to open the steering wheel. That’s just bla bla so that you pay the money for nothing…

Could anyone tell me why my airbags would deploy without the impact of an accident? This morning, as I was approaching my vehicle, I was stunned to find that my airbags (driver & passenger) had been deployed! Is it possible that someone may have backed into my vehicle (there’s no damage) or does this happen often?

Did you know that airbags can deploy without any accident? A pothole will do. Most cost $500-$1,000 plus a dashboard replacement if it’s the passenger side for another $1,800. And sometimes an $800 wiring harness. No two dealers quote the combination of parts. If the replacement doesn’t work, they never get complaints, just invitations to te funeral. Like air-conditioning, they are repaired secretly (it needed 20 lbs. of Freon!) and you can never tell if you’ve been ripped off.

Very good, you got a lot of people to respond to a ridiculous hypothesis. It’s funny that some people took it very seriously. Next topic: Is it possible to have absolutely no sense of humor?

i was really pissed of one day and while i was driving my car and i punched the stearing wheel and the airbag came out and white smoke came out and made me cough bad. I thought the car was on fire because of all the smoke so i got out by this time i was really angry at the car and kicked the doors and broke the windscreen jumped on the roof. Then i walked home got the gas can filled it up with gas and went back to the car and burnt it

Yes, airbags do in fact exist.

Now there was some news awhile back, that scammers were taking cars that had been wrecked that had airbags that deplyed, and they basically made it look like the airbag got fixed when the car was. When in fact, there was no airbag in the steering wheel, but rather garbage or in some cases, packing peanuts.

BUT other than that, they do exist. Some models of Dodge vehicles when rearended, the driver airbag hub would open, you could clearly see the airbag in there, but it did not inflate.

And you said something about seeing wrecks with no airbags inflated?

1. You need a frontal impact. There are only sensors in the front of your car (with the exception of SIDE and SIDE CURTAIN airbags).

2. There has to be rapid deceleration before an impact. 95% of the cars on the raod today monitor the sudden drastic deceleration. If an impact is then triggered, the airbag will inflate. Some cars the airbag will inflate either way, however some if it detects rapid decelration, it will inflate faster….. but thats newer tecnology.

You said you wanted to see airbags but they say it will void the warranty. Lets think. Do you want to “attempt” to look at the airbag module while its in the steering wheel. If you even thouch it wrong, or the SLIGHTEST static electricity can set it off, and if oyu were that close to it, the injuries you could sustain could be tremendous…..

They are in the car. It is not a government scam or whatever you call it…..

You’re a freaking moron to say that there are no such things as airbags. Why would a car company make all sorts of claims and spend millions of dollars in tests and research, all just to rip you off? Well, I’ll tell you that airbags do in fact exist. They do hurt. And they smell like sh**! So quit whining about fraudulent corporations. You know nothing.
