| Description of the problem | While driving my 2006 bmw 325i on the freeway at about 50 mph a small object such as a bottled water bottle or something similar hit the front bumper of my car and rolled underneath the car where i drove over it. There was no damage to the exterior of my car yet the seat belt light and the airbag light came on the dashboard. I took my car to the bmw dealer where i was told that the "accident indicators" had fired and i would have to have the receiver of my seat belt replaced at a cost of $350 despite there being no damage to the car and this being what i consider a common driving occurrence. *jb |
