WHILE DRIVING ON A GRAVEL ROAD UPWARDS ON A GRAVEL ROAD (NOT A LEGAL STREET) GOING UNDER 10MPH, THE SIDE UPPER AIRBAGS DEPLOYED BY THEMSELVES WITHOUT BEING IN AN ACCIDENT OR ANYTHING BEING STRUCTURALLY DAMAGED. I WAS DAZED, AND MIGHT OF HAD A SLIGHT CONCUSSION. THE PASSENGER WAS KNOCKED UNCONSCIOUS, AND HER RIBS AND BACK HURT. I HAVE READ ON MANY FORUMS THAT THIS SIMILAR SITUATION HAS OCCURRED. THERE ARE MORE SITUATIONS BUT PLEASE READ BELOW. THESE VEHICLES ARE MADE TO DO CLIMB 60 DEGREE ANGLES, I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW THERE ARE SO MANY INSISTENCE THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED. THIS IS NOT SAFE AT ALL!! BELOW ARE JUST A FEW I FOUND ON THE INTERNET.

THE SECURITY LOCK SYSTEM ON MY HUMMER H3 INTERMITTENTLY FLASHES DURING START CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO NOT CRANK. NORMALLY I HAVE TO WAIT 10 TO 20 MINUTES FOR THE SYSTEM TO RESET ITSELF AND SHE STARTS RIGHT UP, BUT TODAY IT'S BEEN 8 HOURS. FINALLY I HAD TO CALL FOR A TOW TO THE GM DEALERSHIP. WE GOT LUCKY TODAY. AT 10AM MY WIFE THOUGHT SHE WAS GOING INTO LABOR, WE GET TO THE TRUCK AND NO START. JUST A FLASHING SECURITY LOCK SYMBOL FLASHING AT ME. ENDED UP USING HER CAR. THIS IS DEFINITELY A SAFETY CONCERN, WHAT IF HER WATER HAD BROKE OR MY SON WAS NEEDING MEDICAL ATTENTION. I KNOW GM KNOWS OF THIS DEFECT BECAUSE I HAVE READ THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS EXACT PROBLEM ONLINE. THEY WILL NOT FIX IT UNLESS MADE TO.
