Has anyone ever had a Boxster airbag deploy without being in an accident or were was fiddling with it?
While the car was at the mechanics, the passenger airbag deployed (there was video of the incident from the exterior of the car) while the car was being backed into a spot...it clearly didn't hit anything and was going very slowly. So it was definitely not the fault of the driver or any external bumping of any kind.

Anyone every experience something similar?
