Drivers side air bag barely inflated but something is causing aching in my ear and hearing is a little funny. My arm was cut from whatever blew out of 1 of the front airbags. I never received anything about any recalls.

I was driving down the street and all side airbags deployed out of nowhere, the seats belts that were not occupied locked, the seat belts that were occupied did not lock. The vehicle was able to drive to safety. The back latch would not open to allow me to remove my stroller.

I was traveling at about 50 MPH on an asphalt road, and for no reason at all, my side curtain airbags suddenly deployed for no reason at all.. The road had no potholes, and my vehicle had not veered from the road. I could not see the curb because once inflated, the airbags would not deflate and it was very difficult maneuver my vehicle out of traffic as I could not see from any of my side windows. I ended up hitting the curb at about 40 MPH, and flattened both passenger tires and severely denting both rims as well. Had a more unexperienced driver like my daughter been driving at the time, this malfunction could have easily cost us with her life. I was on a smooth road, traveling in a straight line, in very light traffic. There was no reason whatsoever for these airbags to deploy! …
