3 Side/window Air Bag problem of the 2007 Mercedes Benz C230

Failure Date: 05/28/2008

I was on the freeway driving to work with a CO-worker when the passenger side airbag in my 2007 C230 deployed. There was not a collision or contact with my vehicle at all. The bag on the passenger side arm rest struck my passenger right arm quite violently causing her pain for 4 days and the drivers side airbag constricted and put a 4 inch cut on my neck. When I took my vehicle to mercedes of laguna niguel where I purchased the vehicle new only 2 months ago they refused to repair the airbags sitting small scratches on both passenger side rims and their claim of the tires bubbling and proof the vehicle was in a collision. However 10 days previously I had accidentally scraped the vehicles rims while parking. I can assure you this vehicle was in excellent condition when I went in for repairs to the airbags and the events I have described are exactly as they occurred. The dealership asked me to contact my insurance company, which I did, however I relayed the same information to them as I am relaying to you. I am outraged at the dealership and feel they should repair the faulty airbags on this vehicle. Please advise.

5 Side/window Air Bag problem of the 2005 Mercedes Benz C230

Failure Date: 07/22/2006

I have a Mercedes Benz C230. Saturday my air bag deployed in the passenger side back seat after leaving mr. Bubbles carwash. My fiancee drove my car to the mercededs dealership nearby and they shut off airbag system until I could bring my car in for inspection. Monday morning I called to have my car scheduled for maintenance on Tuesday for the deployed air bag to be repaired and for the system restraint malfuction light on the dashboard to be repaired. The service advisor said that there was damage to the tire so they were not going to warranty this problem. To be honest, I am not satisfied with that. Why would an air bag deploy even if there was a tire problem? I am scared to death to go over a speed bump at this point.
