Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I went through a dip (slower than usually taken) in my neighborhood and my airbags deployed. i don't think this should have occured and was due to faulty air bags. the damage to my car reached over $7000, including interior repairs caused from the air bags and undercarriage/alignment damage due to hitting a curb after my temporary blindness and shock. the cuts and bruises dealt to me and my passenger were minimal and did not require medical attention. i then went for over a month without a car because special parts had to be ordered by the body shop. all of this due to faulty air bags in my 1996 mazda miata.
