Consumer Description

THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR SITE. THANKS TO YOUR INFORMATION WE NOW KNOW THAT OUR CAR WAS SUBJECT TO A RECALL THAT EVIDENTLY CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. WE HAVE NEVER BEEN NOTIFIED OF A RECALL AND ARE VERY MUCH CONCERNED ABOUT THE AIR BAGS NOT ACTUATING. THE VEHICLE STRUCK A TELEPHONE POLE HEAD ON AFTER FAILING TO REDUCE SPEED WHILE NEGOTIATING A TURN. FORTUNATELY, MY SON AND HIS FRIEND WERE WEARING SEATBELTS. WHAT A MERRY CHRISTMAS THIS HAS TURNED OUT TO BE.
