| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I was involved in a car accident: a front-end collision. the insurance company has totaled my car. my drivers side air bag did not deploy. the passengers side did. i have injuries. and most likely will be going for surgery. there was smoke from under the hood. i really want to know if my air bag was faulty. i see there are recalls on my car (hyundai tiburon) for faulty seat belt mechanism, which effects the fuse, which blows out and never sends the signal to the driver airbag. was this the cause of my faulty airbag? or is it something else? was my individual car recalled for that faulty devise? was my car overlooked because of the timing of the recall and the time of my purchase? i am the second owner. is there anyway to check my individual auto? i bought my car certified pre-owned. and it was only dealer serviced. we buy new cars for safety features. we get discounts on insurance rates for: having these features on our cars; there are lights on the dashboard that tell us we need fuel; that our doors are open; that we need to check the engine; that we have abs breaks; even to tell us that we need to wear our seat belts. there is even a light that says we have an airbag. but nothing, to my knowledge, says check the airbag and make sure it is working. this is a life saving devise. why are there no regular check-ups, for the airbag, to make sure it works when you need it? this should be mandatory for all vehicles!!! why did my airbag not work? again, is there anyway to check my individual auto? i feel that if it worked, i would not be permanently injured! *tr |
