“I'm currently living in hawaii and I was driving down the road and hit a slight bump in the road and my passenger side headrest spring forward. Thinking it was something minor I did not think anything about it until I realized my airbag light came on, on the dashboard. If I am to hit a bump in the road the light will go off temporarily but come back on.”

I was traveling about 50mph on a main road it was night time and had started to rain and I hit a cow that was standing in the middle of the road.
