Consumer Description

I WAS INVOLVED IN A MAJOR ACCIDENT ON 11-13-18 INVOLVING SOMEONE REAR ENDING ME FROM BEHIND. I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE STREET WITH TRAFFIC WHEN I WAS HIT , I ENDED UP HITTING THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME AND SO ON. IT ENDED UP BEING A 4 CAR COLLISION AND MY AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY ! CAUSING MY FACE TO SMASH AGAINST THE STEERING WHEEL . NOW I HAVE PERSONAL INJURIES INVOLVING MY BACK AND NECK. I DO NOT THINK I WASN'T INFORMED IN A TIMELY MATTER OF THE RECALL CAMP 174. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN MUCH WORSE. PLEASE ADVISE
