I was slowing at a light when the airbag deployed. It hit my stomach and chest and the horn stayed on. I jumped out of my Jeep and the driver behind me got out to see what happened. There was smoke everywhere and he told me to turn on the Jeep to move it off to the side but I was too scared so he turned the key to put it in neutral and we pushed it off to the side. I waited outside for my husband to come and the horn continued to beep and my stomach was in pain. I was already bruising and my fingers were covered in black powder...updated 01/25/16.
