Warning Light On problems of the 2007 Jeep Grand Cherokee

While driving 40 mph on a 2 lane road the passenger sidewall airbag deployed seconds after the airbag warning light came on. There was no impact. Car was driven about 2 miles to the Jeep dealer where it was purchased. They suggested I call Chrysler. Chrysler sent an engineer to investigate. Chrysler sent me a letter stating that there was nothing that would leave them to believe it was the manufacturer's responsibility. I am trying to find out why it deployed. Chrysler will not provide me with this information. If they can make a determination that it was not a manufacturer defect, then they should know what caused it in order to make that determination. I spoke to an auto body shop as suggested by the dealer to get a rough estimate of the repair cost but they said they were not interested in repairing it without knowing what caused it do to liability issues, which I understand. I do not know what caused the deployment but Chrysler must know or else they couldn't determine it was not a manufacture problem.
