Car was not moving, waiting for a traffic light to turn left in a long line of cars when side airbags unexpectedly deployed followed by the the front driver-side air bag. Luckily I was not injured, though disoriented, deaf and blind for a minute or so from the explosions and smoke in the car the yellow air bag sensor warning light was turning on and off for a year so I am guilty of poor maintenance , but talking to my friends I found out that it is not that uncommon and I think that something needs to be done since next time this explosion can happen to somebody else while driving on a highway.

While the vehicle is in motion, and with a passenger weighing 115 pounds on the passenger seat the passenger seat air bag warning light comes on while the vehicle is in operation. When the seating is adjusted the warning light goes off again. Ford Taurus does not have an indication to say if the passenger airbag is activated or not. Even when the passenger airbag is not activated (no passenger in seat) the air bags indicator stays dark. So when a the passenger is on the seat there is no way to know if the air bag has turned itself off as it did not detect the passenger. In cases where the car is involved in an accident an un activated air bag could cause a serious situation and the driver has no way to know the actual status of the air bag.

Airbag warning light came on for 2 days. Went out before scheduled service at dealer. No diagnostic code was returned. Dealer advised to return car immediately if light went on again. Approximately a week later light went on again, car was returned to dealer with light on and an "unknown code" was returned by diagnostic unit. Approx 3 weeks later, without warning, passenger side front airbag deployed spontaneously. Car filled with powder making visibility impossible, and the force of the airbag deployment shattered and pushed out the passenger side of the windshield, scattering shards of glass all over the front seat.
