Consumer was having problem with brakes before accident. While traveling approximately 15MPH another vehicle stopped suddenly in front. Airbag didn't deploy, and seatbelt restraint didn't lock up. Consumer had complained almost a year about brakes. Dealer claimed they had checked brakes. Vehicle was take to another dealer, and they found factory seals still on brakes. Consumer suffered some serious injuries.
While on active duty in the army, I purchased a used 2000 pontiac sunfire in georgia. The car began giving me problems only 6 months after the purchase. Luckily, I forced the dealership to pay for a warranty because I had to have 3 major repairs within a 11/2 after that. Unfortunately, shortly after the warranty was up, I discover numerous other problems with the automobile, including the recall. This car is truly a lemon! I do not believe I should have to suffer with this defective car.
