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.
