This BMW deployed the passenger side air bag, driving down the highway at 70mph. At the same time both front tires went flat. I do not know at this time if the tires were punctured by an object or not. My wife was driving the car and said that she was cruising at 70mph,(8:30am with good visability) when the airbag deployed she pulled over and noticed that she had two flat tires on the front. There was tire failure with this incident, however I only know that the brand tire is dunlop. The car is at the dealership at this time. This so far, is a real mystery to us!!!!!!!.
Air bag light came on while driving. This occurred because the rear passenger side airbag sensor module malfunctioned. The part was replaced, but the problem recurred.
Consumer states while traveling 35 mph without any indication resulting in a vehicle crash. Upon impact, side air bags deployed, blowing door panel off, and causing injury to passenger's ribs.
