1994 Chevrolet Camaro complaints

BOTH AIRBAGS DEPLOYED WHILE DRIVING 20 MPH. THERE WAS NO ACCIDENT. I CONTACTED CHEVROLET AND THEY HAD MY VEHICLE TOWED TO THE NEAREST DEALERSHIP. THEY CALLED ME BACK THE NEXT DAY TO SAY THAT THERE WAS DAMAGE UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE THAT CAUSED THE AIRBAGS TO DEPLOY SO THEY WOULD DO NOTHING FOR ME. AFTER THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED THE CAR MADE A LOUD NOISE WHILE RUNNING WHICH IT WAS NOT MAKING PRIOR TO THE INCIDENT. CHEVY SAID THAT I HAD HIT SOMETHING VERY HARD AND IT BENT THE FRAME ON THE UNDERNEATH OF THE CAR WHICH INTERN CAUSED THE LOUD NOISE. MY PROBLEM WITH THIS IS THAT THE CAR WAS RUNNING PERFECT PRIOR TO THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYING AND THERE WAS ABSOLUTELY NO NOISE WHILE THE CAR WAS RUNNING. ALSO, THERE IS NO DAMAGE TO THE BODY OF THE VEHICLE AT ALL. THE PERSON AT DON MEALY CHEVROLET IN ORLANDO, FL THAT INSPECTED MY CAR SAID THAT I PROBABLY HIT SOMETHING PRIOR TO THIS INCIDENT THAT CAUSED THE AIRBAGS TO BE ACTIVATED AND AFTER THAT POINT SOMETHING AS LITTLE AS GOING OVER A SPEED BUMP COULD HAVE CAUSED THE AIRBAGS TO DEPLOY. WHAT I DO NOT UNDERSTAND IS THAT IF THE DAMAGE UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE IS WHAT CAUSED THE AIRBAGS TO DEPLOY, AND IF THE NOISE THAT THE VEHICLE IS MAKING NOW AFTER THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED IS FROM THIS DAMAGE THAT SUPPOSEDLY HAPPENED SOMETIME PRIOR TO THIS IS THE CAUSE OF THE LOUD NOISE THE CAR IS PRODUCING, WHY WAS THE CAR RUNNING PERFECT PRIOR TO THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYING FOR NO REASON? I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHAT I CAN DO, IF ANYTHING? I DO NOT HAVE AN ESTIMATE ON THE DAMA

WHILE DRIVING ON WET SURFACE 20-25 MPH, CONSUMER WENT TO STEP ON BRAKES AND VEHICLE SUDDENLY ACCELERATED, HAD TO USE HAND BRAKES, THEN THE ABS LIGHT CAME ON. WENT TO DEALER AND WAS TOLD THE ABS MODULE WAS BAD. *YC

I HAVE HAD TWO FAILURES OF THE GAS CAP. IT IS A NON-VENTED GAS CAP WITH A RATCHETING MECHANISM. THERE IS A RUBBER SEAL THAT IS SUPPOSE TO SEAL THE GAS CAP TO THE FILLER NECK WHEN THE CAP IS TIGHTENED SO THE RACHET CLICKS THREE TIMES. THE PLASTIC SCREW THREAD ON THE CAP IS GALLING. THE CAP DOES NOT TIGHTEN AND SEAL THE TANK BEFORE THE RACHET BEGINS TO CLICK. I BELIEVE A COMBINATION OF WEAR AND CHEMICAL ATTACK IS CAUSING THE THREADS TO BIND IN THE FILLER NECK. WHEN THE CAP DOES NOT SEAL, I CAN SMELL GASOLINE FUMES COMING FROM THE TANK WHEN I STOP AND THE WINDOW IS DOWN. THIS IS BOTH A FIRE HAZARD AND NEEDLESS RELEASE OF VOC'S TO THE ENVIRNMENT. I WILL REPLACE THE CAP MYSELF, BUT IF THIS PROBLEM IS COMMON TO THESE GAS CAPS THEY SHOULD ALL BE REPLACED. *AK
