ON SATURDAY JULY 18, 2009 I WAS DRIVING MY 2005 CHEVROLET IMPALA ON HIGHWAY 10 IN TAWASSEN BRITISH COLUMBIA HEADING EAST BOUND. I ACCELERATED FROM A STOP LIGHT AND WAS TRAVELING AT APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH WHEN MY DRIVER AND PASSENGER AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. I HAD NOT STRUCK ANYTHING WITH THE VEHICLE, NOR HAD THE VEHICLE BEEN IN ANY PRIOR FRONTAL COLLISIONS. NO MECHANICAL REPAIRS HAVE EVER BEEN DONE TO THE VEHICLE, AND NO PARTS HAVE BEEN MODIFIED ASIDE FROM BASIC MAINTENANCE (BRAKES, ROTORS, OIL CHANGES, ETC.). LUCKILY, ME AND MY PASSENGERS (2) SUSTAINED NO MAJOR INJURIES (ONLY LIGHT MINOR) AND I WAS ABLE TO SAFELY PULL THE VEHICLE TO THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY. I AM FILING THIS IN AMERICA BECAUSE I AM AN AMERICAN CITIZEN AND THE VEHICLE IS REGISTERED TO ME IN THE UNITED STATES. I HAVE FILED A CLAIM WITH MY INSURANCE COMPANY AND WITH THE MANUFACTURER (GM, CHEVROLET). GM/CHEVROLET ARE HAVING PROBLEMS WITH JURISDICTION BETWEEN GM CANADA AND GM USA, AND HAVE YET TO INVESTIGATE THE ISSUE. I AM WRITING THIS TO HELP ME INVESTIGATE THE ISSUE AND POTENTIALLY SAVE LIVES. THANK YOU *TR
