| Description of the problem | My son was working with the owner of the truck in n. C. Truck went off road hit tree both died my son was thrown out of truck and landed under the truck. Police said airbags did not work right but due to fire it was said to be inconclusive. There was also a dog in the back seat that got out with out injury . This is what leads me to think the airbags were not working if so my son and the other boy would of had a better chance to get out of the truck before the fire started. Please look into this matter it will not bring my son back but it may help someone else from losing a loved one! Looking forward to a reply and any info on this matter. Thank you for your time. Your affected parts area will not allow me to leave in the parts (airbags) is the main one. .. Updated 10/11/17 *bf 03/28/18*jb *tt |
