NHTSA Complaint #10705953 — 2008 INFINITI EX35

HAD JUST PAID FOR PARKING GARAGE AT BOOTH- GATE OPENED AND AS I BEGAN TO MOVE FORWARD HIT CURB WITH FRONT DRIVERS SIDE WHEEL- AIRBAG DEPLOYED AND HIT ME WITH STUNNING FORCE (LACERATIONS ON FOREHEAD- HAND AND FOREHEAD BLEEDING - BLACK AND BLUE EYES LATER). THE OVERALL LENGTH OF CURB STARTING FROM GATE WAS ONLY 4 FEET( I WENT BACK AND MEASURED LATER) AT THE END OF CURB WAS A 2 FT HIGH CONCRETE BLOCK. THERE WAS ZERO DAMAGE TO MY BUMPER AND OBVIOUSLY HAD NOT ACCELERATED SINCE I HAD LESS THAN 4 FT TO DO SO AND WAS PULLING OUT FROM A STOPPED POSITION. CALLED INFINITI WHERE I GOT MY CAR- SAID THEY HAD NEVER HEARD OF SUCH A THING- NEVER GOT ANY ANSWERS AND THE AIRBAG RECALL DOESN'T APPLY TO MY VIN ACCORDING TO MY RESEARCH. FILED A CLAIM WITH MY INSURANCE AS AIRBAG REPLACEMENT VERY EXPENSIVE AND IT FRIED MY ELECTRICAL. *TR
