Quick premise of what happened, friend was driving, hit a pothole on road. airbag went off...
there is no body or frame damage whatsoever, it was literally hit a medium size pothole in parking lot and airbags deployed for no reason...
dose she have any case for warentee or recall?? the dealership told her that she's gonna have to spend $2000 to get airbags fixed... to note, it's a 2003 mustang that she just bought a week ago...

Was this vehicle purchased by her new from the dealer or used? Has it been in a collision prior to this by her or the previuous owner if it was purchased used?
If it was purchased new by her then you need to go take immediate pictures of the pot hole and surrounding area and speak with a lawyer if the dealership is in any way not bending over backwards to help her. I have yet to hear of this complaint regarding this vehicle but it is a safety issue if there is a vehicle problem across the board.
If it was purchased used you need to find out if it has been repaired in the past and any collisions that took place. This will be the deciding factor on your next step.
