NHTSA complaint: 2002 VOLKSWAGEN GTI — AIR BAGS
AFTER RUNNING UP A CURB IN MY 2002 GTI 337 WHILE TURNING LEFT AT AN APPROPRIATE SPEED, THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER FRONT AIRBAGS SPONTANEOUSLY DEPLOYED WITHOUT ANY FRONT-END COLLISION. THE DEPLOYMENT CAUSED BURNS AND BRUSING TO MY ARMS. THE AIRBAGS HAD NO REASON TO GO OFF, AS THERE WAS NO DAMAGE THE FRONT BUMPER OR HOOD. SOME OF THESE VEHICLES WERE HELD UP AT PORT PRIOR TO DELIVERY DUE TO AIRBAG SENSOR ISSUES. THESE PROBLEMS SHOULD HAVE BEEN ADDRESSED AND REPAIRED PRIOR TO DELIVERY OF THE VEHICLE.*AK
