My name is tonya m shears my brother patrick w rice purchased the car for me. On 12-1-99 I was on my way to his house. I was traveling west onto south conversa. Miss carter was traveling north onto marion Ave. She was going about 40-45mph when she ran a stop sign. My car hit hers head on both my air bags came out. My car did about an 360 turn. When my car did come to an complete stop my seat belt had came off. When you put your seat belt on, you put it on for safety not for it to come off during an accident. That is when you need your seat belt the most. The car was located at campbell body shop at 507 amelia Ave spartanburg, SC 864-583-5616. The car was a total lose. You can speak with anne kohlmayer at 1-800-331-4920 ext 230 she is with general accident. Please look into this matter is get back with me. I just thank god that my children was not in the car. Thank you and god bless.

I have experienced 4 part failures, each on my airbag system on my Volkswagen Jetta. The first part failure occured on may 28, 1999 and subsequent part failures occured as follows: 7-30-1999, 2-23-2000 and 7-11-2000. With the most recent occurance, my car was delivered to the dealership on July 11, 2000 and the maintenance was not completed until August 4, 2000 due to the unavailibility of the part from the manufacturer. Due to the severity of this defect, and given the fact that my dealership has exhausted their efforts in trying to identify the problem, I no longer feel safe driving this vehicle. With the information provided, I feel that my vehicle meets the qualifications of the "lemon law". At this time I am requesting that I receive a replacment vehicle. Thank you for your consideration in this matter. Please do not hesitate to contact me if more information is needed.
