A vehicle made an illegal u-turn in front of my vehicle and I struck him in the left rear, causing him to do a complete 180 degree turn, the force was in my center front. The airbags on neather side of my vehicle deployed ,adding to the injuries of both passenger and driver. At this time the combined cost is in excess of 4000 dollars and climing. Is there a history of this failure? If so please advise me of what corrective steps need to be taken, and any other information which might be helpful.
