Side/window Air Bag problems of the 1997 Mazda 626

We had just bought my 1997 Mazda 626 from a family member and had only had it about 3 weeks. My mother in law had used my car and was coming down the drive and hit a pot hole when the air bags deployed hitting her in the face and busting the windshield. She had to be taken to the hospital for injuries sustained due to the airbags deploying. I then went online where I saw that Mazda had a recall on my car model. I called Mazda and they said there was nothing they could do, that I would have to contact my insurance company. Due to this being an older vehicle I have only liabilty insurance. The car continues to set in the same state as the day the airbags deployed, unable to be driven.

My wife struck a curb with the right-front tire at about 25-30 mph. The drivers side airbag deployed, though not the passenger side. When I looked on the dot website I found that 97 626 drivers-side airbags had been recalled for deploying too easily. When I spoke with the dealer they said that my VIN was not covered under that recall. My insurance company paid for the repair, less our $300 deductible, and put in a complaint on the airbag. Because they were paying around $1800, I thought the insurance company would investigate the airbag deployment. My question is, if there was nothing wrong with my car, why did the airbag deploy when there was no body damage, and why didn't the passenger side airbag deploy when the passenger side wheel was struck? either the driver's side deploys too easily, or the passenger side doesn't deploy when it should.

While traveling at 35 mph consumer hit a pothole, and both driver's side and passenger's side airbags deployed. Consumer feels airbags should not have deployed. Please provide any further information.

Right after the vehicle was started driver's side air bag and passenger's side air bag deployed for no reason. Also, windshield was broken when air bags deployed. Vehicle was being repaired. Please provide any further information.

Both passenger and drivers side airbags experienced false deployment emitting noxious fumes from them which made the consumers choke and damages to vehicle. Nlm.

I was driving home from work at 6 pm. Right front wheel went into a large pothole that I didn't see, causing airbags to deploy, which caused windshield to crack, and the passenger front door to be bent out of alignment by the force of the airbags pushing into the car. The pothole was large enough to bend the aluminum wheel and put a bubble in the sidewall of the tire, and knocked the suspension out of alignment. Dashboard also needs to be replaced. Face received several lacerations about the mouth and nose, and it's too early to say if I've suffered any permanent hearing loss. My biggest problem is that Mazda parts division seems to have a national backorder on this passenger side airbag, meaning I will be car-less for an unspecified amount of time. It has been two weeks so far. This should have been a wheel and tire claim only, and I'm lucky I didn't swerve into oncoming traffic as a result of this.

After hitting a curb at 5 mph, the driver's and passenger's side air bags deployed without reason, cause unknown.
