Consumer Description

I HAD JUST MERGED ONTO 69 HEADING HOME FROM SCHOOL. IT WAS AROUND 930PM. I START TO PICK UP SPEED TO BLEND IN WITH TRAFFIC. THERE WAS A THREE CAR ACCIDENT THAT OCCURRED SO WE ALL SLAMMED ON OUR BRAKES TO AVOID FROM HITTING IT. UNFORTUNATELY I HIT THE BACK OF A FLATBED TOW TRUCK GOING BETWEEN 45-50MPH. TO MY SURPRISE MY AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. EVEN THOUGH I HAD A RECALL ON MY CAR A FEW MONTHS BACK FOR THE AIRBAGS NOT WORKING RIGHT, SO I TOOK IT TO MY DEALERSHIP TO HAVE MY RECALL FIXED. SO WHEN I GOT IN THIS HEAD ON COLLISION I WAS IN SHOCK MY AIR BAGS STILL DID NOT DEPLOY. *TR
