Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: While driving on a rather bumpy street (no major pot holes), side-airbag and curtains on the driver side popped out. it was not a collision, and the bumper did not hit anything. service shop at dealer found a couple of damages on oil pan and control-arm, and therefore insisted the airbag deployment was not due to a mal-function. the car is being repaired (including the re-upholstery and damaged seat belt due to the airbag eruption). it is treated as an accident by my auto insurance.
