NHTSA complaint: 2003 JEEP LIBERTY — AIR BAGS:FRONTAL
YESTERDAY EARLY EVENING, I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 60MPH ON A HIGHWAY IN GARLAND, TEXAS, WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN MY AIRBAG DEPLOYED WITHOUT CAUSE. THERE WAS NO IMPACT TO THE CAR AT THE TIME OF DEPLOYMENT, SUDDEN STOP OR ANYTHING THAT WOULD IMPACT THE DEPLOYMENT. IT DEPLOYED, I LOST CONTROL OF MY VEHICLE AND WENT TO THE SHOULDER OF THE HIGHWAY. NO EVENTS THAT WOULD LEAD TO THE DEPLOYMENT, NOT EVEN THE LIGHT THAT INDICATES "AIR BAG. " IT IS NOW LIT BECAUSE IT DEPLOYED, I'M ASSUMING. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME IT HAS HAPPENED. THE DEPLOYMENT OF THE AIRBAG CAUSED BURNS ON MY ARM AND A SWOLLEN WRIST. I WILL TAKE THE VEHICLE INTO THE DEALERSHIP SOON. NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE YET. *TR
