Description of the problem | I was hit from behind in stopped traffic and pushed into the car in front of me. I was stopped in heavy traffic on a two-way road when hit. The driver airbag didn't deploy and the collision inspector told me that my seat belt didn't either! I am lucky i wasn't hurt worse. The car i was driving was not a safe car, but was sold to me as a certified preowned car. |
