NHTSA Complaint #11387602 — 2005 ACURA MDX

AS I AM DRIVING MY 5 YEAR OLD TO KARATE ON A LOCAL ROAD WITH 40 MILES PER HOUR, MY WHOLE LEFT SIDE AIR BAG CURTAIN DEPLOYED FOR ABSOLUTELY NO REASON. ( I DIDN'T HIT ANYTHING AND NO ONE HIT ME EITHER). I GOT A BRUISED HAND, SMALL CONCUSSION AND A MASSIVE RASH ( FROM CHEMICALS IN THE AIR BACK). I CALLED ACURA AND WAS TOLD TO GO FOR DIAGNOSTIC AT LOCAL ACURA DEALERSHIP. I WAS CHARGED $99 AND WAS TOLD TO CALL MY INSURANCE COMPANY. I ASKED WHY SINCE THERE WASN'T AN ACCIDENT INVOLVED AND THE ANSWER WAS ' I CAN'T TELL YOU HOW MANY PEOPLE COME HERE AND CLAIMS THAT THIS HAPPENS TO THEM BUT HAVE NO PROOF'. I GUESS THE AIR BACK IN MY TRUNK AND NO DAMAGE TO THE REST OF MY CAR IS NOT PROOF ENOUGH!!! I WILL BE TALKING TO A LAWYER AT THIS POINT!
