Description of the problem | While slowly driving over a set of undulations in a business parking lot, the van came down on one of the undulations and deployed the passenger side air curtains and passenger seat airbags. This is a vmi converted mobility van. Because the van is lower to the ground and heavier, it did damage to the bottom of the van. Because of the low speed of travel, and the nature of the van coming down on the undulations (not side impact) the airbags seemed to have deployed without cause. I am concerned that if we are driving and hit a pothole, the airbags may deploy. My wife is a paraplegic and she would be trapped in the van because the ramp will not deploy. |
