how old is your car actually?
if it's old and u didn't recheck it regularly....it could either didn't deploy at all or like your case...pre-mature eject
most ppl dn't really care checking it since it's expensive
it's not the brand's fault...it's our fault for not checking it

I think it's 2005...
Since 05-06 like that... But I just sent it to Proton for service the other day... Don't think the check was done...
*
thn it's quiet old
and no ...proton dn't do the checking
because they also know it's expensive
if u really want to check...if they found have problem....would u replace??...it's very expensive
so that's why most ppl will just leave it like that..leave it to luck

Bottom line it is not the consumer's fault.
*
it is actually
if the airbag is install in good condition...no recall...no problem
if it pre-mature deploy and didn't deploy at all
we could only blame ourself for not checking and replacing it regularly
if i'm not wrong airbag have an "expire date" as well...after 2 year(i think)..need to replace already
and it's RM2k each....do u want to replace it??
which is why SC didn't check it...and we just leave it....leave it to luck...if lucky, it will deploy when accident despite after the 2 years

Replace or not, pay or not, it is the customer's choice but it is the service centre's duty to inform.

The airbag problem of older Gen2 is known problem & Proton already announced the recall for 2008 and older models.

ya..this one got recall
but other brand like toyota and perodua sometime also got inform
but their user also didn't replace it cuz it's expensive and got report also it didn't deploy or pre deploy
each is around 2-2.5k each for p1 and p2...toyota ones are more expensive
which is why car theft like to steal it
