| Description of the problem | Takata recall, i was involved in a rear ended collision on a highway while stopped causing my car to rearend the car in front of me. The airbags did not deploy and said malfunction on the dashboard. There was $19000 in damage, i asked for the seatbelts and airbags to be replaced because i was afraid to drive the car and feel safe. They would not do it because they said the computer was able to reset. I specifically asked over and over as i could not feel safe, no one would listen so i ended up trading the car that was 7 months old in and taking a loss to feel safe. Since the airbag malfunctioned i could not feel like it would keep me safe in another accident. I have never been in an accident prior to this. |
