ON SEPTEMBER 15TH, 8:20PM EST MY PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG DEPLOYED WITHOUT GETTING INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT. I HAVE A 325 CI, PRODUCTION DATE AUGUST 1ST, 2000. I WAS GOING OFF AN EXIT RAMP WHEN THE CAR RAN OVER THE "CAT EYE" STONE DIVIDERS ON THE ROAD (THOSE STONE DOTS, ABOUT .5 INCH HEIGHT). MY RIGHT SIDE AIR BAG DEPLOYED AT THE SAME TIME THE EMERGENCY LIGHT WENT OFF AND THE CAR SHUT OFF BY ITSELF. I WAS IN A RAMP SO THIS INCIDENCE CAUSED ME TO LOSE THE POWER IN A TERM. MY POWER BREAK STOPPED WORKING AND I HAD TO PULL THE HAND BREAK TO STOP THE CAR. MY LAWYERS HAVE SUGGESTED ME TO CONTACT BMWNA FIRST TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE. BUT I HAVE FOUND A RECALL ON 323/328 CARS FOR THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM. I AM GLAD NO BODY WAS HURT IN THIS INCIDENCE. THE CAR HAS NO DENT ON DOOR OR ANY BODY DAMAGE BESIDE THE TIRE AND THE RIMS WERE CHIPPED/DENTED DUE TO THE RESULT THAT I HAD TO PULL OVER SO FAST ONTO THE CLUB TO AVOID ON COMING TRAFFIC. I AM ADDRESSING THIS CONCERN BECAUSE I HOPE YOUR COMPANY WILL START INVESTIGATE THIS PROBLEM TO AVOID ANY FUTURE ACCIDENTS.*AK
