Consumer Description

MY CAR RAN OVER AN OBJECT IN THE ROAD, MAKING A LOUD NOISE BUT NOT CAUSING THE CAR TO GO OUT OF CONTROL. WHEN I PULLED OVER TO ASSESS THE SITUATION, I SAW THAT THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT SIDE AIRBAG HAD DEPLOYED. NO ONE WAS SITTING IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT AT THE TIME AND THERE WAS ABSOLUTELY NO SIDE IMPACT TO THE CAR AT ALL. THERE WAS NO DAMAGE TO THE CAR, OTHER THAN THE MALFUNCTIONING DEPLOYMENT OF THE AIRBAG. *TR
