I was driving down the street and I parked at a friend's house. Me and him were talking and without warning the driver side airbag went off. No one was touching the car and I was not touching the steering wheel. I don't know what triggered the airbag to go off. And I'm glad I wasn't on the road when it happened.

My passenger side airbag is lifting from its place on the back side of the cover. This is a concern for me because I fear that it will release at some point due to the heat or motion. I notice the protrusion when I am cleaning up my car and I do not touch it nor do I prefer for anyone to sit in the front seat.

My 2005 Dodge Stratus was in an accident on 4/14/06. The car that hit my car was going 55 mph hit my car from the back. My car was going 45 mph and from that hit was propel into the car in front of it and the car in front of me hit the car in front of it. My car was assessment was determine total. The question by the police and the insurance company is why the airbags did not come out. My front nor side airbags deployed. I am concern that this car has a manufacturer defect, which could have cause lives. I am requesting an investigation into this matter. Please contact me for additional information. Thanks you.

My girlfreind and her kids where in the car. And jumped out of the car when I stopped. My arm was cut up from the cover on the airbag. I went to the hospital. Where they removed plastic from my forarm. I called the police and reported it. I called doug smith and told them what happend they looked at the car and said they whould not cover it because it was out of waranty, but I have exstended waranty they said to have my auto insurance take care of it. My auto insurance wont cover fatory defects. I was lucky I was'nt on the freeway or I would have been killed and other may have been hurt. Please look into this no one else would give me there time.
