Consumer Description

WE HIT A DEER AND THE FRONT OF THE CAR WAS DEMOLISHED. UPON INSPECTION THE NEXT MORNING, I NOTICED THAT AN AIRBAG SENSOR WAS SHATTERED AND JUST HANGING BY THE WIRE HARNESS. AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY, I WAS CONCERNED ABOUT THIS AND NEVER GOT A STRAIGHT ANSWER FROM ANYONE. NOW I GET A RECALL NOTICE SAYING FAULTY RESTRAINT SYSTEM, I'M NOT TOO HAPPY... *TR
