Consumer Description

I OWN A 2001 FORD FOCUS. I WAS IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC ON A ROAD NEAR MY HOUSE WHEN I ACCIDENTALLY BUMPED THE PERSON IN FRONT OF ME. BOTH MY PASSENGER AND MY DRIVER'S SIDE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED, SMASHING MY WINDSHIELD! THE OFFICER THAT REPORTED TO THE SCENE SAID THAT THERE WAS NO WAY I WAS GOING FAST ENOUGH FOR THEM TO DEPLOY BECAUSE I HAD BEEN SITTING IN THE TRAFFIC FOR A WHILE AND WE WERE MERELY ROLLING. THERE WAS NO DAMAGE TO THE FRONT OF MY CAR OR TO THE BACK OF THE OTHER PERSON'S CAR SO I FEEL THAT THE AIRBAGS PROBABLY SHOULD NOT HAVE GONE OFF. IS IT POSSIBLE THAT THIS IS A DEFECT?? *TR
