Description of the problem | After entering the alley i pushed the garage door button. As i was turning onto the driveway pavement from the gravel alley the truck slowed and became hard to steer (like when the power steering pump goes out). Almost simultaneously there was a loud pop and the airbag deployed. When i realized what just happened i put the truck in park, turned the key to off and got out in a hurry. I thought the truck was on fire as there was a burning smell and smoke sputtered for quite awhile. As yet i do not know what caused the airbag to deploy. |
