“The side airbags deployed while driving down the road at about 10 MPH. We had just turned out of our driveway and heading to a stop sign at the highway. Luckily it happened before getting on the highway. Nothing hit the van and no prior damage. My wife was driving and she has bruising on her arm and we both have ringing and sore ears. Sounded like a bomb went off inside the van. We were kind of disoriented and feel like we may have blacked out for a bit after it happened. We have not seeked medical yet but might in the next couple days if some of the issues don't get better.”

When the codes were downloaded from the computer, one indicated a faulty passenger side air bag module. At no time had any of the dashboard warning lights indicated a problem with the air bag system, so I had driven an unknown amount of miles without any indication it was malfunctioning, even though the vehicle's computer had an indication of a problem. …”
