Consumer Description

TRAVELING AT 5MPH ON NEIGHBORHOOD GRAVEL ROAD, SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAGS DEPLOYED WITHOUT ANY WARNING. NO COLLISION OR ACCIDENT. ENTIRE SYSTEM WENT INTO CRASH MODE AND FIRED SEAT BELT TENSIONERS, AND SHUT DOWN FUEL. HAD 2 PASSENGERS IN VEHICLE, ALL WERE UNINJURED. WAS FORCED TO CUT AIRBAGS OFF CEILING TO SEE OUT, AND DRIVE VEHICLE TO CLOSEST GARAGE. INCIDENT WAS CAPTURED ON VIDEO BY PASSENGER USING A GOPRO CAMERA, SHOWING THE EXTERIOR CONDITIONS AND LACK OF TERRAIN RELATED CAUSES. MULTIPLE OTHER HUMMER H3 OWNERS HAVE EXPERIENCED SIMILAR INCIDENTS, AND I WILL BE LOOKING INTO LEGAL ACTION IF THIS ISSUE ISN'T RESOLVED. *TR
