While driving down a freeway at a speed of approximately 65 I heard a loud pop, my seatbelt tightened and both side curtain airbags deployed, with a lot of smoke. I managed to pull the car over to the right side and called my insurance company. This just happened yesterday so I don't know what to expect from them.

Side airbags spontaneously deployed while driving down the highway. I stopped the vehicle safely and no apparent injury to myself or passenger except for possible hearing loss due to the loud bang on deployment. I used a knife to cut the bags away from the front side windows then continued driving.

Driving on a paved road in a school zone when at approximately 5 pm, when side airbags deployed. The bags deployed deflated. I was near a residential neighborhood so I pulled off the road and exited the vehicle. I was not hit nor did I hit anyone to cause the bags to deploy.

While traveling at approximately 70mph in the fast lane westbound on hwy 4 in my 2003 ford expedition a extremely loud bang was heard and smoke was seen from inside of the vehicle. At first I thought something had hit the top of the vehicle. Thankfully I kept control of the vehicle and proceeded to merge to the right to pull over in the emergency lane. Upon stopping the vehicle I noticed the side curtain airbags had deployed. Knowing that I didn't hit anything nor did anything hit the vehicle I still walked around the whole vehicle to inspect for any possible causes. After contacting my insurance company they stated that this damage would not be cover due to faulty cause. The vehicle was inspected from my insurance company and they stated no impacted was sustained to the vehicle. Conclusion being that the airbags deployed on their own with no impact, possibly a short or just faulty equipment. I'm glad my family wasn't hurt during this incident.

On saturday, may 17, 2014 at approximately 1:00 pm, I was driving my vehicle northbound on ca-57 through brea when the side curtain air bags suddenly deployed for no reason. I did not come into contact with any other vehicle or object nor was there an eminent roll over. This caused me to almost loose control of my vehicle, but I was able to regain control and safely move to the side of the road. Once stopped, I opened all the windows to air out the smoke from the air bag deployment.
