What owners wrote
I, [xxx], attest that the event described below is the truth of what happened in the accident on 03/30/2014. Side airbags did not deployed. On sunday march 30, 2014 I hit very by another car that ran the red light. The galant was going at a speed of 55 MPH when it hit me, the force was great that the cars then smacked together and sprang out again. I notice that the air bags did not deploy; side or even front. I called my parents. The florida highway patrol arrived. Five minutes later my parents arrived.
I was hit by a car turning left and my airbags did not deploy. The cars screen had an alert on it with the words "airbag failed". My VIN is not in the recall however I am concerned. The aribags failed and I'm lucky that I was ok. The car is deemed a total loss due to the airbags failing.
