On February 7 my wife was driving our 2000 S430 mb sedan and hit a curb on the drivers side. All the side airbags deployed. The damaged estimated was over $6000. My repair shop, mastercrafters Inc. At 7406-08 westmore rd. In rockville, md noted that there was no other damages to the car. There was no suspension, frame or front end damage. Mr. Ken moran, the owner said that for the airbag to deploy without any other damage was extremely unusual and felt that this was an instance of a probable defective sensor or other airbag component failure. I am notifying Mercedes Benz of this occurrence, since I feel that this airbag deployment was a very dangerous situation and could have resulted in a serious accident. This event will surely cause my insurance rates to go up as well. A copy of this complaint will be sent to ussa, my insurer, and to Mercedes Benz of North America.
