While driving both driver's side and passenger's side air bags deployed without a cause. Also, for two days there was a burning smell within the passenger's compartment. Consumer paid little attention to the smell. However, the smell might be linked to the air bag problem. Consumer has contacted the dealer. Dealer repaired airbags and windshield under warranty.
