Description of the problem | I was in a car accident a few months ago that involved me leaving the road and that i was completely airborne landing on the other side of the embankment my air bags did not deploy under the force of my car going airborne and landing so hard that my underside of my car was torn up needing almost 6,000 dollars in repairs. Including breaking my oil filter off of the car. I was told that my airbags should have completely deployed. But they did not. I really am scared that if i was in another accident they will not deploy when needed to save my or my families life. |
