2000 VW Passat wagon. My wife was driving on the highway (70 mph) when her passenger side air bag deployed without any impact, bump or incident which should have caused deployment. The driver's side air bag then deployed about 1 minute later while she was still in motion. Preliminary investigation showed an electrical short/meltdown in the center console wiring. Futher investiagtion impending. Thankfully the front air bag did not deploy at that rate of speed and a full fledged fire did not develop.
Vehicle was involved in a side impact collision. Left side airbag made contact with "left center pillar post" which ruptured airbag, releasing gasses into vehicle. Consumer has experienced vision problems after this incident.
