Tl* the contact owns a 2007 GMC yukon xl. While driving 25 MPH in inclement weather, the curtain air bags inadvertently deployed without warning. The contact abruptly depressed the brake pedal and crashed into the curb. The contact sustained injuries to the neck and back that required medical attention. A police report was filed. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 137,000.
Takata airbags that are defective, are still not corrected. I pay $539 a month for a car payment and we can't drive the car. My wife and kids and myself are too scared to get in the car.
