The contact owns a 1995 Geo prism. The air bag deployed without an accident. The speed was about 5 mph. Because she was slowing down for a red light the front driver and front passenger air bags deployed. There where some previous road construction on the road she was traveling on. But the night of this incident the road was fairly leveled. The contact did not lose control of the vehicle because she was already stopping. The air bag warning light was not that she is aware of. One passenger sustained injuries, such as severe bruising, head injuries, busted nose and black eyes. She was transported by ambulance to the emergency room. The insurance Agency told her that there was NHTSA recall 96V070000 concerning the air bag sensor. She contacted GM manufacturer and she was told this vehicle was not included in the recall due to VIN. This occurred on August 30, 2005.
