On 9/4/2023, both airbags in my daughter-??s 2015 Nissan 370-Z violently exploded open erroneously at a stop-sign, when my daughter had, unknowingly, slowly rolled into the protruding hitch of the truck in front of her; the imperceptible impact of which my (driver) daughter and (passenger) son didn-??t feel, nor even known had happened (until after they escaped the traumatizing horror). None of the nearby witnesses could noticed the car bump either. From each of the witnesses-?? perspectives, they heard a loud explosion come from the 2nd car stopped at a stop sign. Everyone in the vicinity-??and patrons & workers who-??d run out of the corner store-?? watched in horror, as -??smoke-?? filled the vehicle immediately. As people began rushing toward the car, my 13 y.o. son DOVE out of the passenger door & rolled several feet-??hands clasped to his ears, violently screaming. A gentleman ran toward my daughter-??s door, fully prepared to pull her from (what was believed to be) the burning car. Although she was hysterically crying & burned from the chin to the stomach, she was otherwise able to be helped out of the car & walk with assistance to her brother-??who had lost all hearing in both ears (for over 15 minutes). It was then that the driver of the truck informed my daughter & helpers of her bump into his hitch. Aside from a small dent in my daughter-??s front bumper, there were no other signs of damage from the impact. There WAS, however, a shattered windshield from the passenger airbag. My daughter & son reported that, as the airbags exploded unexpectedly, they were pelted with thousands of stinging particles as the car filled with smoke & smelled like it was on fire. My son dove out of the car as my daughter screamed, -??The car is on fire!-?? Due to bad actor, Dakota McGregor from Nissan, her lies about any known issues or recalls w/the vehicle-??s airbags, & her refusal to file a report bc my -??kids didn-??t die-??, we took the $15K hit to repair & Dakota interfered w/the repair co.
