Driving car to class last week, recently bought it within the past year. Was pulling into a parking spot in a parking garage going maybe 5 mph. Was creeping up into the spot and the airbags deployed out of nowhere, cracking my windshield and getting smoke and an awful smell into my car. I also will be wearing a wrist brace for the next 6 weeks due to an injury that the airbags caused.
