“I was involved in a accident where the airbags did not deploy. I was hit on my driver's side and the vehicle was totaled but the airbags never deployed. I also dealt with electrical issues the entire time I had the vehicle. I believe the electrical issues cause the airbags not to deploy. I did receive the vehicle in that condition.”

The contact was taken to the emergency room for medical attention. A police report was filed. The contact's vehicle was totaled and towed to a tow yard.
