Here is a good one for you just happend about 10 mins ago.. I stop at a fast food place get get something to eat. I get my food and park in a parking lot to eat and let the car idel cuz i want it to run all of it system checks. When i get done i take off. i dont see the maybe i mean maybe 6 inch curb in front of me i hit it at i say 5 to 7 mph and what happens? i roll over it? NO i get hit the the Fing face with a air bag........ ya and it busted the window
ouch
Shit man how bad is it, at first I laughed then I looked at your sig and looked at what car you have. Did you mean 6' or 6"? If you meant 6' then damn.
Ya sorry 6 inch curb
cracking on the plastic?
I have never even seen an airbag go off just driving over a curb. I had a Pontiac Grand Am a few years ago. Great daily driver when you wanna save mileage. I had a few too many drinks and took right going like 50 and the tires broke loose. I went up a 4 or 5 inch curb and took down a picket fence and had no airbag blow on me. Hell smashed 3 rims and drove home on 2 flats.
I do paint and body work (toyota certified)and have never even seen a bag blow over 5 to 7 mph. Hell Ive seen some smash front ends from 15 to 20 mph crashes with no bags blowing. I would recommend my usual airbag fix after you fix it(do it to almost all my cars) pull the airbag fuse. Pontiac can build a fast car but the jap cars have much better airbag sensors.
Sweet Car... Bummer!
yes I know i have never heard of this to. But belive me if I was going faster or doing somthing stupid i would tell you.. Im bumped.. But that air bag fuse is a good idea... I dont want this happening againQuote:

Ya ya i did i just droped it off at the body shop tonight about 30 mins afther the wreck. I just googled a body shop and when i showed up there they had a 200k twin turbo 69 camaro, and a 200k 55 vette. There body work was great, so ill post some pics when it gets done. The bumper was already messed up so it will get fix and done right..... Any ways my fiance made me take her to the place it happens to show her what i hit and why i was there i snaped a pic

And if anyone is woundering what getting hit with an airbag is like, its like getting punched in the face by mike tyson
wow I feel bad for you man. At least everything is fixable. I ran over a curb like that one time in a old daily driver that I had and man did it sound horrible..no airbag but the sound and jolt was pretty bad.....glad to see you didnt get hurt,airbags can cause some damage
Yeah I would either pull the fuse or have the body shop put a new sensor in because after what happened with it blowing over a curb the sensor must be bad. just some more of GM's great long lasting electrical parts. Between that sensor, the great power windows, and the annoying electrical issues I have in my trailblazer I wonder if one day neither car will start and I'll have to take my girlfrinds Mazda 3. At least my work van isn't made by GM so I always get to work in the morning.
I work 3rd shift now, and since I got my car a few months back I was having a blast driving it back n forth to work. Well getting home every morning was always a challenge. Took lots of parking lot naps.
Anyways I made it to my street one day and next thing I know.... Boom
I hit a curb doing probally 15-25 mph and no airbag..... thank god
X2 i was in a head on collision were the bag deployed did you get that burning feeling from the bag.Quote:

Now if it has that much force to do that to the windshield imagine what it feels when it hits your face
sorry to hear about the CETA
Wow, now I know why two stage air bags had to be developed. That's crazy to release that much power for deployment all at once. Ouch !!!!
I hope that you and your CETA get well soon. ;-)
So there insurance company cut me a check for 7500 to have everything done. New bumper whole new dash the whole front end is going to be re painted. There putting in a new k member they are going to use a factory one but I think im going to ask them to put in a BMR one I’m thinking the one for turbo clearance.. Anything I need to know about these?
