| Description of the problem | Tuesday september 9, 2014 i was driving down the hwy 92 when all of a sudden i here a loud thunderous explosion. As i checked my surroundings i thought i was in the middle of a car accident, so i took my foot off the gas and coasted to the side. As i looked around my side airbag curtains on both side were deployed as well as my driver side door air bag. I get out of my car and inspect the car and nothing visibly was damaged. I look down the road and nothing was there, cars were flowing as normal and not a pot hole in sight. Called bmw and found that bmw had has a recall on certain models including mine. |
