AIR BAGS WENT OFF AND BURNED A HOLE IN MY PANTS AND BURNED THE SKIN ON MY LEFT THIGH. SUBSTANTIAL REPAIRS WERE REQUIRED. I HAVE NEVER HAD ANYTHING LIKE THIS HAPPEN BEFORE OR SINCE. I AM HEALTHY, NOT ON ANY MEDS OR SUBSTANCES, WASN'T TIRED OR DISTRACTED, AND AM OVERALL A HIGH FUNCTIONING 50 YEAR OLD MARRIED MOM OF TWO. THE CAR WAS ONLY 5 DAYS OLD. IT ALL HAPPENED SO FAST AND THE CAR SEEMED TO HAVE A MIND OF ITS OWN. I WAS VERY SHAKEN, ASSUMED I HAD MY FOOT ON THE WRONG PEDAL, AND WAS ASHAMED THAT I COULD HAVE MADE SUCH A MISTAKE. WHEN I HEARD OF THE RECENT CASE AND THAT YOU ARE REVIEWING SIMILAR ISSUES WITH OTHER TESLAS, MY HUSBAND AND I THOUGHT YOU SHOULD AT LEAST REVIEW OUR SITUATION TOO. WHETHER IT WAS IN FACT USER ERROR OR A DEFECT, I DON'T KNOW. I'M NOT ABOVE ACCEPTING RESPONSIBILITY, BUT IT IS LIKE THE CAR RACED FORWARD SO QUICKLY I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT WAS HAPPENING AND HAD NO TIME AT ALL TO REACT OR RESPOND BEFORE MY LEG AS BURNING.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2019","productMake":"TESLA","productModel":"MODEL 3","manufacturer":"Tesla, Inc."}]}]}
