Description of the problem | While i was turning into a parking lot i cut the turn too short and went over the curb. The airbag deployed. No damage. I didn't hit anything. Just went over the curb and the airbag deployed. I think this is a defect. This should be a recall item. I don't feel the airbag should deploy just for going over a curb. My arm was injured. Something needs to be done about this. I sent it to the dealer for repair and they said i was in an accident. Of course i knew they wouldn't say it's a common problem that the airbag deploys for no good reason. |
