I was driving on highway 60 near dudley, mo @ 65 mph, when the airbag light came on. i took the nearby exit and stopped at a convenience store. filled gas tank, everything seemd to be working fine, so i pulled back onto road, soon after the airbag deployed, and horn started honking. i stopped, disconnected horn, cut away bag and drove home. notified company, and per their request had diagnostics test run at blackwell-baldwin olds in poplar bluff, mo; no codes found, mechanic said a short in the steering column caused the deployment. mechanic said column was tight, and no sign it had ever been opened, but a wire was stretched. he said apparently the steering wheel snagged the wire. oldsmobile will accept no responsibility whatsoever for this due to age and mileage on car, and say i must bear entire cost of test, replacement, and resulting equipment problems. suggested i contact the better business bureau if i didn't like their findings. since when did airbags come with an expiration date? thank you for your consideration.
