I own a 2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee and both of the side curtain air bags deployed while I was driving. There was no impact or collision. I was making a right hand turn when the air bag light came on. Immediately after that passenger side curtain air bag deployed. Then a couple of seconds later the driver side curtain air bag deployed. I pulled into the store parking lot and had the car towed to a service shop. Insurance investigator determined it was mechanical failure.
I was driving my 2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee when I began to take a right turn into a shopping center. Suddenly, without warning, my side curtain airbag deployed with great force. I was able to slow the vehicle and then pull into a parking space without incident. Upon inspection I found that there had been no impact, no damage to my vehicle in any way, except that the side airbag was now hanging down. Chrysler initially refused to pay for any part of the incident, then finally agreed to pay for the airbag to be re-installed. I was made to pay for the airbag sensor ($200), the airbag console ($320) and a $100 deposit on the airbag itself.
