Description of the problem | I replaced my front pads and rotors. Been fine for a week till yesterday i stopped at a light brakes felt slightly spongy, not long after maybe ten minutes three cars ahead of me had stopped as i hit the brake my foot went straight to the floor and i smacked the vehicle in front of me doing appx. 35-40 mph. It was a four car pileup i took heavy front end damage more or less totaled the vehicle but the airbags had failed to deploy causing me to hit my head on the steering wheel and suffering a concussion. The seatbelt didn't lock as it should have either therefore causing my whiplash to be severe. |
