HELP!!! Random air bags deploying?!?!

Need help on this one, never heard or had this happen to me before. i have a 2005 coupe and i was driving and i hit a pot hole or bump in the road and instantaniouly air bags deployed. just the front driver and passenger air bags and seat belts locked. Not too sure how i should go about this. it has stock suspension. should i complain to the state, dealership, or insurance?? ive gotten opinions from friends but need more advice, pretty sure this never happened to anybody, but if it has lmk what you did? thanks for the help.

You hit the pot hole hard enough, for the airbags to deploy, it states in the manual this might happen. That sucks man

Must of scared the carp out of you

I agree with others, let your insurance handle it.

Hmm, well its probebly going to cost a fortune so i would say check the insurance, both front airbag+new dash + module and Both front seat belt tensioners.

Your looking at a 3+ thousand,, but thats my guess:P

The G37 also has the very same issue. If you own an Infiniti, don't hit any potholes...

edit. Actually this incident happens with almost every other make if you google it.

The only difference is, BMW owns up to it and repaired all the damages caused by the airbags. (they repaid and replaced everything except for the damaged wheel).
