We all know the airbags in our cars are there to protect us during a crash... but they can also scare the hell out of you when they randomly deploy while driving 35 mph on a smooth country road.

Well, that's what happened to me.. it was violent, something I never want to experience ever again and hope none of you do either.

Most would say "that would never happen".... but it did and an off duty State Highway Patrol seen it happen... he was actually from the Crash Reconstruction unit... after her knew I was ok, he says "That was awesome, sorry.." He said he has never seen it happen in the 20 years he has had in law enforcement.
We were standing next to our Jeep when the secondary bag deployed... 4 minutes later! He was amazed!
Our 07' Jeep Compass is destroyed on the inside.... we had just bought it in January for around 8 grand....it would cost that much if not more to replace the airbags and repair all the damage that was done to the car when the bags deployed.
It can not be driven, nor do I ever want to drive it ever again... I mean, WTF... why would they just deploy....

Now I wait word from Chrysler (Owners of the jeep)
