I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AT 15MPH AND THE AIRBAG IN THE DRIVERS STEERING WHEEL DEPLOYED FOR NO REASON. MERCEDES DECLINES TO COMPLETE AN INSPECTION AND OFFERED TO REPLACE AND RETURN THE VEHICLE TO ME. I AM CONCERNED WITH THE DECISION TO NOT COMPLETE AN INSPECTION DUE TO THE SEVERE NATURE OF THE SITUATION. I WAS BURNED AND BRUISED ON MY LEFT ARM AND SWERVED INTO THE OTHER LANE DUE TO THE SHOCK OF THE AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT. I AM NOT COMFORTABLE DRIVING THE VEHICLE AND I DO NOT FEEL THAT IT IS SAFE.
