Description of the problem | A week ago i was in a parking lot going 5-7 mph i had to swerve to the left to avoid a collision and when i did my left front tire hit a cement pole at which time my steering wheel air bag and passenger (i had 0 passengers) air bag deployed. I didn't know what happened. I had my seat belt on and it threw me towards the passenger seat causing back pain and it burned my arm so bad it was bleeding. It is in the shop right now getting the front end fixed and the air bags are costing $1500. 00 to repair. I contacted the dealer the next day and i have not heard back from them. I wanted to know what kind of an impact would make the air bags deploy.*jb |
