Consumer states that when hit in the front center of the vehicle the air bag did not deploy causing injuries to the consumer. Dealer notified ts

While traveling south on i-275 in st petersburg, florida, in the middle lane with light traffic, in clear weather with accelent visibility, at between 60 and 65 miles per hour, the passenger side, side impact airbag suddenly deployed. The explosive deployment sprayed shards of hard plastic throughout the passenger compartment. There was no apparent damage to the vehicle. The problem was caused by an impact of a small projectile, probably a medium size pebble thrown up from the bottom of the front right wheel, striking the bottom of the vehicle, which sent a false signal of a side impact to the side impact sensor. The bottom of the vehicle was clean and free of any damage except for a slight indentation almost directly behind the left side of the right front tire, a few feet behind the front right tire. The damage area consisted of an indentation in the bottom of the car; it measured approximately 1.5 inches in length by .33 inches in width, running lengthwise to the vehicle. The indentation was rounded; there was still what appeared to be undercoating material coating the indentation. The thin galvanized metal covering the sensor appears to by design protrude down as if to wrap around the sensor bar in this area. This makes it more susceptible to damage. The problem was clearly caused by either malfunction of, or a design deficiency of the sensor and its mounting. A side impact sensor should in fact measure motion latterly, side to side. The sensor did not do this; it interpreted an upwards motion as a side to side motion. The second issue is the location of the sensor. The sensor is protected by the thin galvanized metal underside of the car; this is another design deficiency. The area in which the sensor is mounted is subject to damage caused by debris being thrown back and up by the front wheels, a common occurrence that anyone who drives a vehicle can relate to.*ak

The major failures occurred within the first 500 miles of the new car. I wonder if the problems are more wide spread? Automatic transmission and power train control module had been replaced. *ak
