On the 28th the driver airbag deployed while I was driving on i76, going about 70 MPH. My right wrist was injured and is red and swollen but I do not think it's broken.

Dealership indicated that water from the rain storm entered into the air bag module sensor. This caused the sensor to malfunction and the air bags to deploy. The manufacturer refused to repair the vehicle because it was out of warranty.”
