“When pulling out of our neighborhood, my husband slowed down to turn right. Upon turning into the middle lane, all side airbags, front and back blew. While the intensity from the blast rocked the car, there was nothing nearby that he hit. No visible damage was done to the car, with the exception of, the air bags. We had never had any issues with this car, and in fact, had just been at the dealership the saturday prior getting a state inspection and a new battery. The service rep even mentioned how impressed he was that this was the car's first battery in 7 years and over 90k miles. …”
