Consumer Description

I SAW THE ITEM IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FREEWAY TRAVELING 55 MPH DURING RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC. IT WAS SMALL AND DUE TO TRAFFIC, I RAN OVER THE ITEM AND THE NEXT THING I REMEMBER WAS AN AIRBAG IN MY FACE. I LOOKED AROUND TO SEE IF SOMEONE HIT ME OR IF I HIT SOMEONE. DUE TO THE FORCE OF THE PASSENGER AIRBAG, IT CRACKED MY WINDSHEILD. NO DAMAGE WAS REPORTED UNDERNEATH MY VEHICLE SO WHY DID MY AIRBAGS DEPLOY? THIS DEFECT COULD HAVE CAUSED MAJOR DAMAGE IF I HADN'T REACTED CALMLY WHEN IT HAPPENDED.*AK
