Hello everyone....Here's the update...
Thanks for all your inputs... You guys are the best. I know your answers were correct but this is what MB stated..
It was the front flex disc that failed that caused the airbag to deploy. It's nice to know that it worked on a 19 yr old Benz.
I'm bringing to my mechanic tomorrow, and they're replacing everything at no cost.
I still feel the safest driving in this car, than all my other 15 cars I've owned thru the years.
