| Description of the problem | My airbags deployed after on day of driving home from a day babysitting my niece and nephew i got home parked my car in the garage and that whole night from 11 at night untill about 330 in the morning the loudest sound i've ever herd the equivalent of a bomb detonation explosion went off and im 10 15 feet away painting my garage and next thing i know i look at my mercedes-benz cls550 2008. All the airbags in the roof and by the back window detonating! I cant understand why to this day the car was locked keys where in my room in the house. And i have no idea how this could of happened. ! Please get ahold of me at your earliest convenience because this is absolutely insane sometimes like this could happen in a high end luxury car.
