Both supplemental restraint system (SRS), or airbag systems malfunctioned with 15 minutes of each other during an ordinary drive to my business location during a business trip with my management. The headrest on the passenger side deployed to the "crash" configuration, the cabin filled with acrid, burnt electronics smell and the red SRS dash light lit. Ten minutes later, the cabin once-again was filled with the acrid burnt electronics smell and a small amount of smoke. The second time the driver side malfunctioned. There was no airbag deployment and no crash.

Srs light came on 2006. I called dealer who told me it was likely a failed child sensor in the passenger seat. I was advised the SRS was still intact and that these sensors are known to fail [mb 2000 ml 320]. August 2008 dealership advised me that I've had no SRS working since the light went on and so I paid $900 to have a $291 part replaced - $700 in labor. My complaint is that a safety feature light warning like the SRS - and a failed sensor - needs to be a manufacturers responsibility.
