Air bag and service light on. Brought car to dealer only to find out the air bag module is defective. Dealer said it would cost $750. 00 to repair. Talked to local auto repair shop they said they thought there was a law that manufacturers have to correct a safety issue for up to 10 years after car is manufactured at no charge to consumer. Called dealer they said they have no knowledge of this of course. Stuck with problem and concerned.
As I was driving on the highway, my vehicle drifted onto the grassy shoulder. Without hitting my brakes, I steered back onto the road. The rear end of my vehicle fish-tailed slightly. As this was happening, the driver's back wheel bent underneath the vehicle causing it to roll over, passenger side first, onto the side of the highway. During the roll-over, none of my airbags deployed, both driver- side tires blew, both axles bent, the tops of the passenger-side doors crumpled, the passenger-side windows shattered, and the roof crumpled like a crushed aluminum can. I received numerous injuries, including neck/back/shoulder strains, broken ribs and damage to my right knee and ankle.
