1 Front Air Bag problem of the 1999 Ford F-350

Failure Date: 02/15/2010

While driving a 1999 Ford F-350 I hit a small bump in a parking lot and both air bags deployed. I took the truck in to a local Ford dealer tom holzer Ford who refused to look at it and told me it doesn't happen that way. I am in the process of replacing the air bags but have heard after the incident that this has happened to others. I am concerned that I will replace the air bags and they will deploy again, and cause some type of accident.
