Description of the problem | Had just paid for parking garage at booth- gate opened and as i began to move forward hit curb with front drivers side wheel- airbag deployed and hit me with stunning force (lacerations on forehead- hand and forehead bleeding - black and blue eyes later). The overall length of curb starting from gate was only 4 feet( i went back and measured later) at the end of curb was a 2 ft high concrete block. There was zero damage to my bumper and obviously had not accelerated since i had less than 4 ft to do so and was pulling out from a stopped position. Called infiniti where i got my car- said they had never heard of such a thing- never got any answers and the airbag recall doesn't apply to my vin according to my research. Filed a claim with my insurance as airbag replacement very expensive and it fried my electrical. |
