| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: While driving at 70 mph on the highway the drivers side air bags deployed without any crash or any obvious reason. we drove through some rocks & debris on the shoulder getting the vehicle under control and stopped. the passenger side tires were punctured and leaking air (apparently from the debris) and subsequently went flat a week later. we received a safety recall notice from bmw regarding the possibility of inadvertant side airbag deployment. even in light of the recall, bmw is insisting that we were "involved in an under-body crash" and that this should not be a warranty repair. the only damage to the vehicle appears to have occurred only *after* the air bags deployed. dt |
