Both air bags inadvertently deployed on their own while driving. The driver pulled over. The consumer sustained injuries, and went to the hospital on her own. Vehicle was towed to the dealer, and mechanic determined that the problem could not be duplicated. The consumer's daughter was the driver. The air bag sensor caused the air bag to deploy without warning. The consumer request reimbursement of the expenses incurred as a result of this problem.
