I WAS DRIVING THROUGH AN ALLEY GOING ABOUT 5-10 MPH WHEN I WENT OVER A SMALL POTHOLE AND MY SUSPENSION BOTTOMED OUT AND MY AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. THE AIRBAGS DID NOT FULLY DEPLOY AND IF THIS WAS AN EVENT OF A REAL ACCIDENT THE AIRBAGS WOULD HAVE NOT DID ANYTHING FOR SAFETY. THERE IS NO DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE AT ALL. *JB

THE AIR BAGS IN MY 2001 FORD MUSTANG GT, DEPLOYED WITHOUT CAUSE. THERE WAS NO IMPACT OR SUDDEN STOP. THERE WAS NO REASON FOR THEM TO DEPLOY. FORD SAYS IT THAT THEY DEPLOYED FROM AN IMPACT, YET THERE IS NO DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE. THEY WOULD NOT COVER IT UNDER WARRANTY AND I HAD TO GO THRU MY INSURANCE COMPANY TO GET THEM REPLACED.
