| Description of the problem | I had a collision with another vehicle and my car was totaled by the insurance company as there was major front end damage and no air bags deployed. The first reaction of three law enforcement officers, body shop owner, and insurance adjuster was the same, "i can't believe the air bags didn't deploy." this is not a play for money, but a request for help, if there is a product problem. I was not injured because i was wearing my seat belt and it worked. The car is still available for inspection but will be turned over to hartford insurance as early as today. |
