Consumer was traveling about 25MPH on highway and without prior warning another vehicle veered into consumer's vehicle. Upon impact, airbags did not deploy. Dealership was aware of problem. While consumer was trying to turn, the wheel locked and a hit pole and building. During the accident the air bag failed to deploy and the consumer had face and chest injuries.
For the third time within a 3 year period my car will start and run for about 2 seconds and turn off, I had it towed and the mechanics would replaced the main computer, or say they did, and charge me a great deal of money. I searched recently on the internet to see if others have had the same problem, and I found that it is a defective part problem found at this site---[link removed] I should not have to pay for a defective part which is tied in to an anti theft feature.
