| 01/21/2008 | 28000 | 2 | 03/31/2005 |
| I am very concerned that the air bag release mechanism; of my car a 2005 mercedes benz c55 amg, is defective. i was involved in 2 accidents, 1st a right frontal with severe damage needing $26,000 in repairs, and the 2nd a left frontal that caused so much damage that my insurer may total the vehicle. the 2nd accident caused multiple fractures in my neck vertebrae and could have been fatal or left me quadriplegic but due to multiple neurosurgeries by the expert in the field, i survived. in neither accident did the air bags deploy and i am strongly concerned that the release mechanism is defective. the vehicle is still at the repair yard awaiting a decision to repair or salvage(no work has been done yet) since the 2nd accident. *tr | |||
