Consumer Description

MY CAR WAS PARKED, I GET INTO THE CAR AS NORMALLY AND WHEN I STARTED THE CAR......... BOOM THE AIRBAG DEPLOYED WITH NO REASON, I NEVER HIT ANYTHING, THE CAR NEVER MOVED,IN LESS THAN A SECOND THERE WAS AN EXPLOSION, A BIG EXPLOSION, M CAR WAS FILLED WITH SMOKE. I WAS SCARED WHAT IF THAT COULD OCCUR WHILE I WAS DRIVING, IM 100% THAT THIS SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED AND BE A RECALL OF THIS. MY INSURANCE WONT COVER AND THEY PROBABLY WILL RAISE MY COVERAGE, I HAD BRUISES IN MY HAND AND FOREHEAD DUE TO THE IMPACT. A REPAIR SHOP WILL COST ME MORE THAN 1,000 DOLLARS WHICH I DON'T HAVE. AND NOW IM SCARED TO DRIVE MY OWN CAR, AND I NEED IT TO GET TO MY JOB AND I CAN'T. *TR
