My 2 boys and a friend were in the car and had ran into the back of a truck hard enough to move the motor back, the air bags did not go off, my children could have been seriously injured. Thank god they had their seat belts on. Why do I pay money for safety features if they are not going to work? I am really upset and dissappointed and will make sure all of my friends and family know that our car was defective. I will look into an attorney to make sure you fix this problem.
