POSSIBLE INJURIES FOR OTHER PEOPLE INCLUDE CHILDREN SITTING IN LAP WHEN CAR IS STARTED, HEAD CLOSE TO THE STEERING WHEEL WHEN CAR IS STARTED, PERMANENT DEAFNESS, BLINDNESS, OR DEATH. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN RECALLED BUT NOT IN MY VEHICLE. CAUSE IS FAULTY AIRBAG DIAGNOSTIC UNIT WHICH CAN SET OFF AIRBAGS WHEN TESTING OCCURS. TESTING CAN BE CONDUCTED ON AIRBAGS BY ONSTAR WHILE CAR IS DRIVING POSSIBLY SETTING OFF AIRBAG WHILE CAR IS IN MOTION.

I HAD COME TO A STOP TO TURN LEFT. I WAS WAITING FOR THE TRAFFIC TO CLEAR, WHEN THERE WAS ADEQUATE DISTANCE BETWEEN CARS, I PUSHED ON THE GAS PEDAL AND NOTHING HAPPENED. THE CAR JUST STOOD STILL, NO LIGHTS CAME ON, NO WARNINGS, NO ENGINE REV, NOTHING HAPPENED FOR ABOUT 3-4 SECS. HOWEVER, BY THIS POINT THE CARS WERE CLOSING IN ON ME AND FINALLY AFTER I LET OFF THE PEDAL AND SLAMMED DOWN ON IT AGAIN, MY SRX MOVED AND CLEARED THE ROAD WAY. IT WAS VERY SCARY TO BE SITTING THERE AND EXPECTING THE CAR TO MOVE WHEN THE GAS PEDAL IS DEPRESSED AND NOTHING HAPPENS. *TR
