AIR BAGS, STRUCTURE:BODY, SEAT BELTS
I HAD PULLED AWAY FROM BACK DOOR OF STORE AFTER DROPPING OFF A DONATION. I DROVE ABOUT 30 FEET WHEN MY PASSENGER SIDE REAR DOOR POPPED OPEN AND TAPPED A FENCE POST. EVERY AIRBAG WENT OFF IN THE VEHICLE, EXCEPT FOR THE STEERING WHEEL. I COULD NOT HAVE BEEN GOING MORE THAN 5MPH. IT SOUNDED LIKE AN EXPLOSION WENT OFF AND FRIGHTENED ME TERRIBLY AS I AM CLAUSTROPHOBIC AND WAS TRAPPED IN THE VEHICLE. THE INSURANCE AGENT, AND TOW SERVICE SAID THAT THAT DOOR HITTING A FENCE POST SHOULD NOT HAVE BLOWN EVERY AIRBAG IN THE VEHICLE. THEY BOTH ACKNOWLEDGED THAT THEY HAD NEVER SEEN THAT HAPPEN IN ALL THE ACCIDENTS THEY HAVE BEEN TO. I DO NOT FEEL LIKE MY INSURANCE COMPANY SHOULD HAVE TO COVER THIS AND I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY THE $1000 DEDUCTIBLE WHEN THERE IS CLEARLY PROBLEMS WITH ALL THE RECALLS ON AIRBAGS.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
LARGE FUEL LEAK COMING FROM LINE THAT RUBS BODY ABOVE GAS TANK. GAS WAS POURING OUT CAUSING A VERY HAZARDOUS CONDITION. WHEN NOTICED VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY IN A PARKING LOT. GM KNOWS THAT THERE HAVE BEEN ISSUES AS THERE IS A TSB # 17-NA-304 DATED SEPTEMBER OF 2017. A QUICK GOOGLE SEARCH REVEALS DOZENS OF LIKE REPORTS WITH ONE CAUSING A COMPLETE LOSS OF VEHICLE DUE TO FIRE. THIS IS OF MAJOR CONCERN AS LOSS OF LIFE FROM THIS ENGINEERING FAILURE IS HIGH. CHILDREN COULD BE RESTRAINED IN CAR SEATS IN REAR OF VEHICLE JUST ABOVE FUEL FOR FIRE.
