Consumer Description

THE AIR BAG DEPLOYED WHEN I STARTED THE CAR. OTHER THAN THE SHOCK OF WHAT HAPPENED , I ONLY SUSTAINED A SCRATCH ON MY FACE AS A RESULT OF THE DEPLOYMENT. THE DEALER WANT TO CHARGE $800 TO REPAIR THE AIR BAG WHICH SEEMS UNFAIR DUE TO THE APPARENT DEFECT OF THE AIR BAG SYSTEM. I REPORTED THIS INCIDENT AFTER SEEING ACTION # EA99-026 WITH A SUJECT OF " INADVERTENT AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT" IN YOUR MONTHLY DEFECT INVESTIGATION REPORT THINKING THIS INCIDENT MAY BE RELATED? THANKS. *AK
