While driving at 45 mph, you hit a pothole covered in ice, lost control of your vehicle, and struck a guard rail. Your passenger's airbag deployed fully, but your driver's side airbag only deployed halfway. This incomplete deployment means you may not have received proper protection during the crash.

NHTSA #: 10058014

Your airbags deployed on their own without any significant impact or crash. This is a serious safety concern because airbags should only activate during actual collisions. The airbag control module or sensors may need to be inspected and repaired or replaced to prevent unwanted deployment.
