Consumer Description

MY MOTHER WAS PARKED IN THE CAR AND MOVED THE GEAR ACCIDENTALLY TO DRIVE RATHER THAN REVERSE TO BACK OUT OF HER PARKING SPACE AND PUSHED ON THE GAS WHICH INEVITABLY WENT FORWARD INSTEAD OF BACKWARDS AND HIT A CURB AND BARRIER, APPROX. 4-5 FT. IN FRONT OF HER. THIS CAUSED THE DRIVERS & PASSENGER AIRBAGS TO DEPLOY WHICH DESTROYED THE WINDSHIELD. NOW THE CAR WAS NOT OBVIOUSLY GOING FAST AT ALL AND THERE IS NO WAY THESE BAGS SHOULD HAVE DEPLOYED. VERY BAD SITUATION. WE HAD TO PAY $250.00 TO REPLACE THE WINDSHIELD AND ARE CURRENTLY GETTING PRICE QUOTES TO REPAIR THE AIR BAG SYSTEM WHICH SO FAR, EXCEEDS THE VALUE ON THE CAR... *TR
