Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Small bump accident air bags are suppose to be for moderate to heavy frontal accidents. yet the air bags deployed on my vehicle when my daughter had a accident where she barley bumped the vehicle ahead of her. there was no damage to either vehicle except the air bags. in fact, she was injured more by the bags (she was dazed and had a head ache) then the bump. if it had not been for the air bags deploying there would have been no damage of any kind. if air bags are for moderate and worse accidents why are they deploying on a slight impact accident? *nm
