Driving South bound on Highway 35 in MN at about 70 mph my air bag decided it was time to explode. Thankfully there was enough room in front of me i could make it over to the shoulder with out hitting anyone or anything.

I didn't hit anything but the air bag light came on while driving and then boom... not a nice way to spend your afternoon....

My daughter was driving at 30 mph when the air bag suddenly deployed. At the same time all of the warning lights on the dash came on and all of the gauges except the speedometer and gas gauge quit working.
