BOTH (DRIVER AND PASSENGER) FRONTAL AIRBAGS ON MY 1995 BUICK LESABRE DEPLOYED WITHOUT REASON ON JUNE 27TH AND 28TH 2015. ON THE 27TH, THE PASSENGER AIRBAG DEPLOYED WHILE I WAS COMING TO A STOP AT A RED LIGHT. NO ONE WAS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT THOUGH IT SPILLED SODA OVER THE BACK SEAT. ON THE 28TH THE DRIVER AIRBAG DEPLOYED WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON I76, GOING ABOUT 70 MPH. MY RIGHT WRIST WAS INJURED AND IS RED AND SWOLLEN BUT I DO NOT THINK IT'S BROKEN. THE HORN THEN STAYED ON AND I EVENTUALLY PULLED OVER AND REMOVED THE FUSE FOR IT. (BTW WHICH DUMB ASS PUT THE HORN ON THE SAME FUSE AS THE POWER LOCKS AND INTERIOR LIGHT?) IN NEITHER CASE WAS THERE A COLLISION OF ANY KIND THAT CAUSED THE AIRBAGS TO GO OFF. I NOTICED AN AIRBAG LIGHT ON THE DASHBOARD AFTER THE FIRST AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT, COULD HAVE BEEN ON BEFOREHAND BUT I DIDN'T NOTICE IT UNTIL AFTER.
