Here's the story:
A couple months back I was driving with two of my friends. Regular driving nothing out of the ordinary, we went to ihop had breakfast. The norm. Ok, well after we had breakfast and stuff we all got back into my p5 and we headed home. I noticed that the airbag light was flashing. It wasn't previously flashing, it just started then. So I pulled over turned the car off, and turned it back on. Still flashing. So I headed home and dropped my friends off. After dropping them off, I was on my way home myself, and I guess I took a sharp turn too fast? Well I went off road and took out two fence posts. Minimal damage. Crack on the bumper below fog lights. Cracked the grill (p5's a tank lol) This was a couple of months ago, nothing recent
Here's what I'm wondering:
Is the sensor messed up? If I hit those fence posts without the light flashing would the airbags have gone off? I hit it pretty hard.
Here's my concern:
Could the airbags deploy on me with regular driving? If I get into a major accident would the airbags deploy?
Here's my question:
How important is this to get fixed? How much would it cost to fix, should I be worried about anything else?
