The side airbags deployed while driving down the road at about 10 mph. We had just turned out of our driveway and heading to a stop sign at the highway. Luckily it happened before getting on the highway. Nothing hit the van and no prior damage. My wife was driving and she has bruising on her arm and we both have ringing and sore ears. Sounded like a bomb went off inside the van. We were kind of disoriented and feel like we may have blacked out for a bit after it happened. We have not seeked medical yet but might in the next couple days if some of the issues don't get better.

On 4/16/2014 I scot E. brauninger was stopped at traffic light in my vehicle a 2010 Chevy express 1500 van, on plank rd. Heading East towards central park in fredericksburg, va I was behind another vehicle and as the light turned green and before I had a chance to move the van raced and went forward with an unusual increase in engine rpms and the vehicle abnormally accelerated into the back of the vehicle in front of me. I had no control of the acceleration and could not stop by using my brakes. As the short time that all of this occurred I did not have time to turn off the ignition. The damage to both vehicles are extensive and also air bags did not deploy at all.
