Typical airbag symptoms owners report

Airbags deploy unexpectedly or abnormally while driving normally, including cases with no collision at all.
Airbags that do deploy in a crash reportedly release smoke or chemical powder that burns or irritates the driver's skin, throat, or eyes.
SRS warning light illuminates and dealers diagnose a faulty airbag inflator or seat weight sensor circuit board that could prevent deployment.
Owners report long delays getting recall parts for the seat weight sensor issue, with dealers unable to schedule repairs for months.
