1 Air Bag On-off Switch problem of the 1996 Mercedes Benz C220

Failure Date: 10/21/2018

Takata recall; maybe. I was driving on fwy-405, heading south, it was around 4:00pm. I was going the traffic speed. There was no traffic jam. My speed was between 60 and 65 mph (the vehicle was in motion). I didn't hit my breaks, I was driving under the conditions I just stated; then all the sudden my airbags deployed. First the driver side; then immediately (almost spontaneously) the passenger airbag deployed too. I tried my best to control the car. The car came to a complete stop taking two lanes on the highway. Engine had stopped. The aftermath after: complete stop, smoke and smile of deployed airbags, a non stop sound of the horn, and the car was no longer in a drive mode (it was shifted). I switched the car key and the horn noise stopped. Then I called 911.
