My daughter was driving down the hwy and a car came out in front of her from the left side and they hit. The other car's air bags all went off. My jeep not one air bag went off after totaling the front end going through a ditch hitting a guard rail etc. Police but on report they went off just took it as they should of because of how bad she was hit. My daughter has back problems the other person cracked hip had to have back surgery.
Drivers steering wheel airbag deployed without reason while driving the vehicle. There was no impact or reason for deployment. Just a simple involuntary deployment of the airbag while turning off a city street into a parking lot. It could have killed me - or worse, I could have hit and killed a pedestrian in a busy lot.
