Consumer Description

SIDE AIRBAGS SPONTANEOUSLY DEPLOYED WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. I STOPPED THE VEHICLE SAFELY AND NO APPARENT INJURY TO MYSELF OR PASSENGER EXCEPT FOR POSSIBLE HEARING LOSS DUE TO THE LOUD BANG ON DEPLOYMENT. I USED A KNIFE TO CUT THE BAGS AWAY FROM THE FRONT SIDE WINDOWS THEN CONTINUED DRIVING.
