“Airbags never popped open, door handle opened and is still not shutting correctly. Since my car was paid in full, I did not carry full coverage only liability so I did not file a claim. I paid the damages out of my own pocket and just this week I've paid the last $1200.00 of the part ordered for last of repairs. In total ive paid a little over 15,000 out of my own money.”
