NHTSA complaint #11445890, filed 2022-01“There was nothing wrong with my car previously. I was driving down a main road in my town and accidentally tried turning in somewhere that wasn't a road, going under 10mph I rode atop an island in the road and my steering wheel airbag popped. I do not know if that is supposed to happen when driving at such a speed but I believe it shouldn't have. The damage has not yet been inspected. My safety was put in danger as I freaked out over said airbag being popped. There is no other damage to the car.”
