While traveling at approximately 70mph in the fast lane westbound on hwy 4 in my 2003 Ford Expedition a extremely loud bang was heard and smoke was seen from inside of the vehicle. At first I thought something had hit the top of the vehicle. Thankfully I kept control of the vehicle and proceeded to merge to the right to pull over in the emergency lane. Upon stopping the vehicle I noticed the side curtain airbags had deployed. Knowing that I didn't hit anything nor did anything hit the vehicle I still walked around the whole vehicle to inspect for any possible causes. After contacting my insurance company they stated that this damage would not be cover due to faulty cause. The vehicle was inspected from my insurance company and they stated no impacted was sustained to the vehicle. Conclusion being that the airbags deployed on their own with no impact, possibly a short or just faulty equipment. I'm glad my family wasn't hurt during this incident.

On Saturday, May 17, 2014 at approximately 1:00 pm, I was driving my vehicle northbound on ca-57 through brea when the side curtain air bags suddenly deployed for no reason. I did not come into contact with any other vehicle or object nor was there an eminent roll over. This caused me to almost loose control of my vehicle, but I was able to regain control and safely move to the side of the road. Once stopped, I opened all the windows to air out the smoke from the air bag deployment.

The driver struggled to maintain control of the SUV but hit the guard rail with the left front bumper traveling approximately 75 mph.
