| Description of the problem | I checked your site and found no recalls for my wife's vehicle. Last thursday 6/15 at 5:15 i was about to merge into an empty merge lane when i thought we were hit on the drivers side. The driver side curtain air bag had deployed. Immediately pulling over and vacating all from the suv i checked the exterior damage and found none. Had just come around a slow curve and was driving straight with all the windows open, i was accelerating from 25 to get up to 50 when we felt the explosion. Humidity was about 80%. I am on blood thinners and my doctor is watching for signs of a brain bleed. My left arm was bruised behind the elbow and my forearm had a 1st degree burn. 34008 miles are there other instances of pathfinder air bags deploying on their own. |
