Consumer Description

ON FEB. 15 2005 I WAS DRIVING A 2003 CAVALIER WHEN. AS I WAS DRIVING AND SWITCHING LINES MY LIGHT TURNED RED AND I DID NOT REALIZE IT. I WENT THROUGH CAUSING A HEAD ON COLLISION WITH ANOTHER CAR. MY COMPLAINT IS THAT THE AIR BAGS ON MY CAR DID NOT DEPLOY AFTER THE ACCIDENT. MY SPEED WAS SOMEWHERE BETWEEN 14-20 M.P.H. THE VEHICLE I HIT WAS MAKING A TURN AT ABOUT TEN M.P.H. OR SO. THE BUMPER OF MY CAR IS COMPLETELY OFF AND IS NOW BEING REPAIRED. I WAS NOT SEVERELY INJURED BUT I WAS VERY APPALLED AT HOW THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. I COULD NOT IMAGINE WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED IF I WAS NOT WEARING MY SEAT BELT. I BELIEVE THAT THE AIRBAGS ARE FAULTY AND I ALSO PLAN TO FILE A LAWSUIT. *NM
