| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: On wednesday september 20, 2006 i was driving down the interstate at about 70-75 mph when my side airbag on the driver side deployed for no reason. i have a 1997 bmw 528i with approximately 230k miles. i do not know the cause of the airbag deploying. i did not hit any potholes. there was no reason for the airbag to deploy. i could not hear well for about 10 minutes and my left arm has a large bruise on it. i took it by the dealer and they said they did not know what went wrong or why the airbag deployed. they said they had never seen that before. this is a safety issue because when the airbag went off, i had no idea what was happening. in heavy traffic that could cause an accident especially if it was the front air bag. *nm |
