Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING ON A RATHER BUMPY STREET (NO MAJOR POT HOLES), SIDE-AIRBAG AND CURTAINS ON THE DRIVER SIDE POPPED OUT. IT WAS NOT A COLLISION, AND THE BUMPER DID NOT HIT ANYTHING. SERVICE SHOP AT DEALER FOUND A COUPLE OF DAMAGES ON OIL PAN AND CONTROL-ARM, AND THEREFORE INSISTED THE AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT WAS NOT DUE TO A MAL-FUNCTION. THE CAR IS BEING REPAIRED (INCLUDING THE RE-UPHOLSTERY AND DAMAGED SEAT BELT DUE TO THE AIRBAG ERUPTION). IT IS TREATED AS AN ACCIDENT BY MY AUTO INSURANCE.
