“6/13/2017 I was involved in a 2 vehicle collision on a highway. I was traveling approximately 55 MPH when a vehicle pulled out directly in front of me, attempting to cross my lane of traffic. Both vehicles were towed. Staff at the tow service discovered the rear door airbags had never been plugged in at the factory. This is a lack of quality control at manufacturers level.”
