Consumer Description

YAKATA RECALL. THE AIRBAGS IN MY CAR DID NOT DEPLOY DURING AN ACCIDENT. THE OTHER DRIVER RAN A RED LIGHT AND HIT ME ON THE DRIVER FRONT OF MY CAR. IT CAUSED $11,884 WORTH OF DAMAGE. WHEN I SAW THE OTHER DRIVER WAS NOT STOPPING AT THE RED LIGHT I APPLIED MY BRAKES BUT THE COLLISION HAPPENED AND SPUN MY CAR. MY CAR WAS NOT ON THE RECALL LIST FOR AIRBAGS. I DONT KNOW WHY THEY DID NOT DEPLOY.
