I was driving down the road when my airbags exploded for no reason. There was nothing in the road, nor did a vehicle make impact. It seems the passenger side went off a split second first because it sounded like a gunshot or bomb going off, obviously scaring me and putting me into shock. Luckily I'm a good driver and was able to get over to the shoulder safely. The chemicals from the airbags filled my lungs and made it hard to breathe as well as burning my arm and hand. I didn't have a phone with me and since I was only a short distance from my house, I drove home where I would be safe and have a phone to use. I called my insurance company, filed a claim and got them to get me into a rental car. After that I still felt bad so I went to the er where they gave me a breathing treatment, steroids to open my lungs and in inhaler to keep my airways clear. I did not have xrays at the time, because I wasn't hurting very badly and they were more concerned about my breathing since I have asthma. That night, I got a headache that has not left, my spine, neck, back, shoulder, etc hurt to the point that it's hard to get out of bed for any length of time. I keep getting dizzy and I just overall feel awful. I have filed a complaint with Jeep and the vehicle is sitting in a shop right now waiting for adjusters, etc to look at it. This is a major manufacturer error and they should be held responsible for all the damage to the car, my current and future, medical, financial, etc problems from this incident. This should not have happened and they should be held accountable, especially so it doesn't happen to someone else. This is a Jeep grand cherokee with Laredo trim. Pco.
The airbags in my new Jeep cherokee Laredo overland have failed and have been repaired 3 times to no avail yet. The back window also leaks.
