My wife was driving our 1997 voyager up a gravel driveway about 5-10 MPH. Both the driver side and passenger side air bags inadvertently deployed. There was no collision of any kind. My wife and daughter both suffered bruising and facial abrasions from the air bags. It is not covered by insurance stating it is a mechanical failure. I feel this is very dangerous and should covered by chrysler for all parts and service.
