I was driving my three month old 07 Mercedes Benz C230 sport sedan. I had 1 passenger with me and I entered the intersection in the#1 lane and I felt an impact to the driver door as the airbag deployed. I steered the steering wheel to the right , causing the rear driver's side to fishtail in the island. As I went across the lanes I steered to the left to avoid the front end. My passenger rear tire hit the curb. As I exited the vehicle I noticed there were no other vehicles around and nothing in the roadway. The car had no damage, just scratches to the body. Both rear rims had damage from the fishtail effect. I immediately called Mercedes Benz about the airbags malfunctioning. Mercedes sent a representative, who determined me that I must have ran over something in the road, causing the driver's side rear tire to lock, which resulted in loss of control over the vehicle. It hit the curb, causing the airbag to deploy. I went out to the dealership to take a look underneath the vehicle. I observed no damage underneath. The only damage was to the inside rear driver side tire which had a light scratch mark which should have been a dent. They stated it was my problem, and they did not see anything wrong with the airbag. I contacted Mercedes Benz collision center about airbag deployment. Mechanic stated the sensor from the drivers side was in the door and should have gone off if something hit the right point. I contacted mercedes benz corporation asking to speak to the representativ e who came out with the decision, they denied my request. I informed Mercedes Benz that maybe there was no a defect in other Mercedes Benz vehicles, but there was one with mine. I told them that I am a police officer and luckily I knew how to manuever a car in that type of situation because of all the training I have had. I told them if it was somebody else the car would have been totaled and someone could have died. They told me pound sand, well not in those exact words.

The dealer stated that the srs control unit #206-820-64-85 needed to be replaced, and wasn't included in the warranty. The contact was aware of the safety risk involved due to the possibility of the air bag deploying prematurely. The current mileage was 38,525. Update 05/04/tr.

1) 2005 mb C230k 4 door sedan vehicle - on board computer reported srs failure. 2) vehicle taken to dealership to address srs failure reported by computer. Dealership reportedly repaired under warranty. Failure notice no longer being reported by on board computer. 3) front side collision occurred today 11/12/05 - was hit by another vehicle traveling approx. 35 mph - no airbags, including side impact air bag, deployed on my vehicle, but both deployed on the other vehicle. Note my vehicle, due to impact, was turned 90 degrees from impact to front of my vehicle - police officer reported incident from his experience definitely should have deployed side, possibly front, airbag on my car.
