Description of the problem | The vehicle was remote started, and then few minutes later the driver opened the drivers side. The driver sat down, fastened her shoulder harness and then closed the drivers side door. Upon the door closing and latching, the drivers side curtain airbag self-deployed. This caused some left arm bruising, neck burns and a deep abrasion across the drivers left side neck. There was no impact from any another vehicle, nor did the dodge journey strike a fixed object. The vehicle was at a standstill with the parking brake engaged, vehicle in park, and the engine start button flashing because the driver had remotely started the vehicle. |
