Description of the problem	Takata recall. I was driving between 10-15 mph on a side road approaching a stop sign to get onto the main highway and the side airbags on both sides deployed on their own. Nothing hit the vehicle to cause them to release. It locked up my front seat belts also. I cut the airbags out to be able to see to drive home, and was able to pull the driver's seat belt around me enough to make it home. I called my insurance company and then called the local hummer dealer to leave a message for them to return my call. My insurance company told me it would be a dealer issue, and nothing they would cover, but advised me to go to my local insurance agent and talk with them on monday. This is saturday, july 16, 2016 and neither the insurance company or the service department of the dealership is open until monday. I am not sure what happened, but believe that there it may be connected to faulty sensors on the side airbags.
