May 29, 2012 airbag deployed as car was being unlocked in a parking lot. Vehicle was not running, merely being unlocked with the key fob, as i attempted to enter, the airbag of the drivers side, embedded in the drivers seat, blew, striking me in the head and bagging my head against the outer edge of the door opening. It is believed that i passed out, then came to and was found leaning against the car. I could not work for a week due to headaches and the impact cracked a tooth. Peerless insurance denied my damage claim, stating wear and tear and lack of maintenance. I can furnish the claim number. The car has been maintained by a dealership and had a clean carfax when purchased in2004 with 58000 miles on it and has not had any accident. The seat had to be replaced, in excess of $1800. The car is my daily driver, my daily commute is under two miles. This vehicle is not listed in the takata recall, but when it appeared in the news, i wanted to report this.
