Consumer Description

WHILE PARKED, I STARTED MY CAR, THEN PUT ON MY SEATBELT. IMMEDIATELY AFTER I PUT MY SEAT BELT ON, THE AIR BAG ON THE DRIVERS SEAT BY MY LEFT SHOULDER BLADE WENT OFF. NO WARNINGS WERE GIVEN PRIOR TO THIS. MY SEAT WAS SMOKING WHERE THE AIR BAG WAS. IT TOTALLY RIPPED THE LEATHER ON MY SEAT. IT SOUNDED LIKE A GUNSHOT WENT OFF IN MY EAR.*AK
