Consumer Description

HIT A VERY MASSIVE POTHOLE AND IT CAUSED THE AIRBAG FAULTY STATEMENT TO APPEAR ON THE DASHBOARD. IT APPEARS THE AIRBAG ATTEMPTED TO DISCHARGE UPON HITTING A POTHOLE AND DID NOT DISCHARGE AND THUS THE AIRBAG MECHANISM WAS CONSIDERED FAULTY. A POTHOLE/RUMBLE STRIP SHOULD NOT CAUSE A AIRBAG FAULT TO APPEAR AS THIS COULD BE DANGEROUS.
