Was the child in the front passenger seat? If not, then there was minimal risk to your child. The possibly of it actually failing in that way is very, very slim, there'd be a greater risk of you dropping your child on the way to your car. And as to the suspension failing, it's been explained to you numerous times that there would likely be no sign that an airbag is about to rupture (if that is indeed what happened, we don't know since you won't tell us), certainly not if you're hitting judder bars hard enough that the car "slams* to the ground. I wish you all the best of luck with your new car.

What a Drama Queen! The airbag recall is there because the whole shards of plastic thing COULD happen - it is not guaranteed. Hence they are replacing them worldwide and as many have said it is a issue across many car builders.
The air suspension thing, like anything on a car, cant be anticipated. Likely they looked at it but all seemed perfectly fine - until it wasn't. Now you need to get it fixed.
Yes your daughter and her baby got a fright. I am sure they got over it.

Hey, you are right, as was I it seems. Jolted was in post title but yea slammed was in the first post for sure. Thought I had read it right. But as long as the baby was safe in the end thats all that matters. The baby (all babies) has no control of what vehicle it travels in, how it is driven etc etc.

I have no idea what you are talking about. Im guessing more than 1 word to describe something though was too much for you to take in.

Nobody said anything about hitting the judder bar hard. Just for the record she drove over the judder bar at a normal speed anyone would. CRIPES NEXT YOU WILL WANT TO KNOW WHAT SPEED WHAT WAS THE TYRE PRESSURE HOW MANY NAPPUES DOES THE BABY USE MY GOD SOME OF YOU PEOPLE ARE SO PADANTIC. Man you guys are just making stuff up as you go. Ive explained what happened many times here. I think some of you are just here out of bordem and want to make up your own story.

HOW MANY NAPPUES DOES THE BABY USE
Well there ya go NAPPUES even goggle is at a loss on that wee gem.
Are they petrol or diesel? do ya have to pay RUC's? Are we talking NAPPUES per a hundred kilometres?
NAPPUES over a cliff?
Is this some feral term us unwashed morons can not understand?

Babies tend to pick up on how adults are reacting to any unexpected event, a hysterical adult will trigger a similar behaviour from the infant.

Slightly off track but where drama queens seek notoriety using babies. Well they can actually react before adults do. Being a mechanic sometimes one does end up in strange situations. The actual Police file regarding this matter is called ! Wet Sunday! . Reason being when your just over a year old child is safe and secure in his mothers arms and his dad is simply opening a boot with a screwdriver and reacts. Well as to how suddenly there was thunder, lightening and torrential rain on a clear fine hot summers day. Is best explained by myself as the person who opened the boot. Having been at the child’s grandfathers early that morning and knowing he was digging a hole to bury A dog that had been a family pet for 20 years and was suddenly attacked and killed by Another dog it had been with for over a year. I spoke with him after the event and simply stated something is going on here that is not of this world as we know it.
Keep an open mind.
He came back to me a couple of weeks later with this story.
Had a guy turn up yep this is the right house I have 7 plates of food for you. We seen the child cross over and reach out for the dog and the grandmother the 2 things It loved most in life. We know your wife is in hospital the doctors will think it is a medical miracle. We are from Ratana we want to sort this out
Baby was SLAMMED --Your words. The ONLY two ways it would be possible for a baby to be SLAMMED in the situation you describe is 1) the airbag suspension failed as the result of an impact at high speed . 2) an impact happened and the baby was unrestrained in the back of the vehicle. You may not realise that you are talking to people with a lot of experience with cars that have tried to offer you advice-you just don't seem to want to listen.
I have driven some really crappy cars in the distant past and none have failed like you describe.
So either- 1. You are talking a load of rubbish 2. You have a total piece of [the proverbial] car and you are desperately trying to find someone else to blame for your irresponsibility. 3. Whoever was the driver did something bad and you simply refuse to face up to facts.

Wow. and we're onto page four of the person who wants free advice about her German luxury car, insulting and abusing everyone in the room.
I think I'll file this one under "How to win friends and influence people"
And maybe cross referenced in r/choosingbeggars as well.

After 13 days, can we assume that the baby has recovered?

My 2013 x5 35d was recalled for propellor and transfer drive shaft or some such thing as well as airbags, they did the driver airbag but awaiting parts for the passenger airbag, and they did the very expensive draft shaft to stop it shuddering. Mine was a AdBlue model which i wanted removed and they were about 4-6000 at city BMW to do as in transit it had crystallised and rendering the car immobile. I went to euro surgeon in penrose who disable and bypassed it, and remapped the ecu and has given me substantial performance gains without sacrificing any economy on this twin turbo diesel and was 1/4 of the price.

I give this thread a score of 9 out of ten. I have had tears in my eyes, unable to read. BUT really most of you posters are being far tttooo helpfull. Facts are not the answer here, sought by the OP. so all of your frustrated irony and wild sarcasm is to no avail. I am sure the OP just ducked and missed all those pointed barbs. There is a masterfull level of misunderstanding here, apart from some brilliant insults.
I would mention the famous Dead Parrot skit. But unsure if OP is Cleese or Palin.
anyway a great (not grate) piece of literature.
