What owners wrote

I was traveling 46 MPH I fell asleep hitting a steel traffic pole head on, when my passenger side air bag deployed but my drivers side did not. My car burst into flames I was pulled out of my vehicle at that time my vehicle was 190 degrees. Now I have seizures daily,broken ribs, broken disc in my back, and unable to work or drive due to my injuries.

The air bag sensor controls the height of the vehicle. The sensor is malfunctioning and the vehicle's rear is dropping, and will not lift. Also, transmission has been replaced four times, and the engine was replaced three times.
