The front passenger side door was closed from the outside while the vehicle was at a stop. When the door latched all side airbags (curtain and in seat) deployed. There was no collision. There was minor damage to the front passenger side door, which appeared to be a "door ding" that had occurred approximately 8 weeks prior to the incident involving the airbags. It was purely cosmetic no repair was sought. Car was towed to dealer after air bags deployed.
I was traveling on a blacktop road with a vehicle in front of my vehicle about 4 car lengths ahead. I had to suddenly stop to avoid a deer on my right side. I hit the car in front of me which was turning left but had no blinker lights or brake showing . Air bag on stirring wheel did not deploy until after the car stopped and I was getting out of vehicle. Side air bags came out but had no air in them.
My father was hit while driving his 2013 Rogue while turning left. Oncoming car hit right passenger side so hard the battery of the Rogue was found two blocks away. The car was totaled. My mother was sitting behind my father on the driver side back seat. Neither side air bags deployed. Both sustained multiple injuries. My father died as a result.
