What owners wrote
I had a air bad recall regarding the side airbags that I had fixed at adams automotive of annapolis and then on 5/07/14 I was involved in a serious motor vehicle accident due to the side curtain airbags deploying while I was driving. After the collision involving 6 cars when my side airbags deployed, none of the other front airbags deployed when they should have because of how bad the front impact was.
