Description of the problem | While driving approaching a stop my driver side headrest air bag deployed striking me in the head and almost causing an accident with the stopped vehicle infont of me. Upon resuming driving no airbag indicator light was present. When i arrived at my home i noticed the retainer did not release rather the plastic around the retainer pin failed causing deployment. I see this is an ongoing problem with many and fear the passengers side will fail next. |
