The driver rear ended another vehicle while driving. As a result the passenger side air bag deployed and caused burns to the passengers thighs. The fumes emitted from the air bag also caused eye irritation and breathing problems. The passenger has developed asthma and has continued to experience eye irritation. The master cylinder was replaced because it leaked. The calipers were degreased, the alternator was replaced and the drivers side door locks were replaced. *scc
