Consumer Description

I REAR ENDED ANOTHER CAR ON THE HIGHWAY GOING APPROX. 10-15 MILES AN HOUR. THE AIRBAG SENSOR WAS SMASHED AND NEITHER AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. I WAS TOLD IN THE BEGINNING THAT THE AIRBAG MISFIRED AND WENT OFF INSIDE THE DASHBOARD. NOW THEY ARE UNABLE TO TELL ME WETHER THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED OR NOT AND THEY DO NOT KNOW IF THEY ARE EVEN GOING TO FIX THEM. I AM LIVID!*AK
