Cars & Transportation - 30 November 2007

Yesterday I witnessed a small accident near my home. Although there were no injuries, one of the drivers was fairly traumatized and didn't turn off the car. I got in the car to turn it off, and breathed in some of the fumes from the airbag. For the rest of the day my throat was a bit sore and today I have a stomachache.
Does anyone know if breathing in the fumes from a detonated airbag is harmful? I was only in the car for less than ten seconds.

I have a 2001 Honda Civic thats been running fine since we bought it 2 years ago. We put an alarm on it then and its never given us any trouble. Last week we noticed a plastic burning smell from the engine & a few nights later after it had been driven, the car wouldn't start back up. The next morning we went back to it & it started. We went to a shop and they thought it was battery acid corrosion on the coils around the battery, they scraped it off & the car worked fine. That night after we had driven it for a while, we went to get back in & it wouldn't start again. This time we had to get it towed. This shop said it was the alarm. They disconnected it and charged us $200. We drove back home, made a stop, got back in the car & it wouldn't start again! The car was towed back to the shop now they say its a different problem and that the $200 we just payed has nothing to do with this problem. Obviously they never fixed it right in the 1st place and want more $. What are our legal rights?

My car failed an emissions test. The diagnostic indicated that the Cat. Converter needed replacing. So I had a converter that passed an etest 3 years ago, so I stuck it on, and will go for the retest tomorrow. Could the converter have gotten clogged after just sitting around for 3 years? I don't think the car was this sluggish before I stuck on the converter a few days ago. I sometimes need to use 4th gear on the hiway. 5th gear gets a bit sluggish. Any helpful comments would be appreciated.

This is stupid but, say your door number was 3 and you wanted to send a parcel to someone else on your street say their number was 16, and you arranged a courier to pick it up do you think the courier would drive up and drop it off or would they have to bring it back to the depot?.
