Consumer Description

THIS BMW DEPLOYED THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG, DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT 70MPH. AT THE SAME TIME BOTH FRONT TIRES WENT FLAT. I DO NOT KNOW AT THIS TIME IF THE TIRES WERE PUNCTURED BY AN OBJECT OR NOT. MY WIFE WAS DRIVING THE CAR AND SAID THAT SHE WAS CRUISING AT 70MPH,(8:30AM WITH GOOD VISABILITY) WHEN THE AIRBAG DEPLOYED SHE PULLED OVER AND NOTICED THAT SHE HAD TWO FLAT TIRES ON THE FRONT. THERE WAS TIRE FAILURE WITH THIS INCIDENT, HOWEVER I ONLY KNOW THAT THE BRAND TIRE IS DUNLOP. THE CAR IS AT THE DEALERSHIP AT THIS TIME. THIS SO FAR, IS A REAL MYSTERY TO US!!!!!!!*AK
