Description of the problem	I was in a very minor accident involving only the front end. I was a a complete stop at a traffic light and hit the car directly in front of me, i hit the car car going no more than 10 miles per hour. All of the air bags deployed, driver, passenger, as well as front and back side airbags. Additionally, when the airbags deployed the windshield completely shattered on the passenger side. Luckily my son was not injured with the extreme fore of the airbag deployment. I took the car for an estimate and just for the inside airbag damage the total would be $9,300. This was an extreme shock, not only when the minor fender bender occured but now the car is totaled because of the airbag deployment. In this situation the airbags should not have gone off for such a minor crash. I need this to be looked into for other people's safety.
