“My son pulled into a driveway and airbag deployed without a collision. The airbag deployment injured his left hand. After contacting the manufacturer, he had it inspected by a local dealership who accused him of having an accident. Appoximately june of 1999, while changing a tire the car slipped off the jack causing slight damage to the passenger side fender and undercarriage. Why would the airbag deploy a year later?”
