At 0735hrs I was driving north bound on I-215 in utah's salt lake city at 70 mph when the divers side, side impact airbags deployed with no impact to the side of car nor anywhere else to the car. The airbag in the door shoved me against the center console causing an abrupt steer. No loss of control to the car. Resulting in damage to the interior of the car, ie. Headliner, windshield pillar, side pillar and the battery cable disconnect renders the positive cable useless. I believe this to be an unsafe condition the could cause subsequent loss of control of the vehicle, resulting in possible injury or death to the operator or others on the highway.
The same vintage BMW 3 series are being recalled for air bags from 2001 and forward. My vehicle is not being recalled now, but I have asked BMW north America who made my airbags to determine if my family is also at risk from the same manufacturer (takata ). After asking multiple times I have not been given an answer. I have also asked my dealer if they knew, and they said that the airbags have BMW logo and branding on them, but they do not know who actually made it. I would like BMW north America to tell me who made the airbags in my vehicle so I know the manufacturer.
Auto was service at dealer 08/10/99 for this recall and on 9/14/99 airbags deployed.
Consumer states while driving the vehicle hit a curb damaging the right front and right rear of the vehicle, the side door air bag and roof bag deployed (claim # 53-c718-260).
