Airbag Sensors
One of the more prevalent causes of airbag related injuries are malfunctioning sensors. Airbags emit significant force when they emerge, and one that deploys prematurely can cause substantial damage. Even in the rare cases where this does not injure the passenger, the shock of being forcefully hit in the face with no warning has been known to result in heart attacks and other stress related maladies.
Conversely, airbags that do not deploy when they need to could also make the manufacturer liable for damages. Given the costs and potential risks that come with air bag installations, vehicle owners should be able to count on them in the event of a crash. This is a common problem for cars installed with “smart” airbags. These models are designed with a weight sensor so that they know not to deploy when children are sitting in the seat. Unfortunately, many of these sensors malfunction and fail to deploy even when an adult is sitting in the seat.
