Description of the problem	I was driving down the interstate through an interchange around a curve, when i hit what i thought was a pothole. The next thing i knew, the car filled with smoke and my shoulder felt as if i had been slugged by someone. After coming to my senses, i realized my side airbag in my seat had deployed as i drove down the interstate. I have never had an airbag deploy, and had no idea what had happened. My driver's seat in my ford focus 2007 is now ripped down the side where the airbag deployed and no ford dealership will replace the seat. According to the "blackbox" that records what happens in a vehicle, the technician explained, my vehicle had a 360 degree spinout that created enough force for my airbag to deploy, and that my insurance company would have to fork up the cost of replacing my seat. I have been battling this for about 2 years now!!!!!!
