MY INSURANCE HAS ASKED ME TO FILE THIS COMPLAINT AS MY VEHICLE'SAIRBAGS DEPLOYED AT AN IMPACT UNDER 5 MPH LEADING TO THE CONCLUSION THAT THE AIRBAG SENSOR IN MY CAR IS FAULTY.ON FRIDAY, JULY 6TH AT 10:15 AM I WAS DRIVING ON THE 405 N IN BUMPER TO BUMPER FREEWAY TRAFFIC, IT WAS A CLEAR DAY WITH GOOD VISIBILITY AND ROAD CONDITIONS. THE TWO VEHICLE'S INVOLVED IN THE MINOR COLLISIONWERE MY 2014 MINI COUNTRYMAN AND A 2017 INFINITY. MANYCARS WERE CUTTING OVER TO THE RIGHT TO GET ONTO THE UPCOMING 55 NORTH AND SOUTHBOUND INTERCHANGE HIGHWAY. ASI WAS MERGING TO THE LEFT A GREY CAR SPED BY TO MERGE RIGHT CAUSING ME TO MERGE BACK INTO MY LANE. HOWEVER, THE WHITE INFINITY AHEADHAD HIT THE BRAKES CAUSING ME TOTAP HER REAR BUMPER AT AN IMPACT UNDER 5 MPH. THEN THE THREE DRIVER'S SIDE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. I IMMEDIATELY CALLED 911 AND THEY TRANSFERRED ME TO THE CHP. AFTER HANGING UP, I GOT OUT OF MY CAR AND THE OTHER DRIVER AND IEXCHANGED INFORMATION. THE OTHER DRIVER LEFT WITHIN 5 MINUTES AS HERBUMPER...

MY CAR WAS PARKED AND I WENT TO START IT UP IN THE MORNING TO GO TO WORK. A LIGHT CAME ON WHICH LOOKED LIKE AN AIRBAG/SEATBELT LIGHT. IN MY VEHICLE IT WAS NOT ONE OF THE REGULAR SERVICE LIGHTS THAT THEY HAVE HIGHLIGHTED IN THE MANUAL SO I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP THAT AFTERNOON. THEY MADE AN APPOINTMENT FOR ME TO BRING MY CAR IN TO BE CHECKED OUT ON 4/5/16 WHICH I DID. BEFORE I GOT THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP THE LIGHT HAD TURNED OFF BUT I TOOK IT IN ANYWAY. THEY SAID THEY WOULD CHECK IT OUT AND GET BACK TO ME. THE NEXT DAY THEY CALLED ME TO TELL ME THAT IT WAS AN AIRBAG ISSUE AND THEY HAD TO SPECIAL ORDER THE PARTS FROM GERMANY WHICH WOULD BE IN ON 4/22/16. LATER THAT MONTH THEY CALLED ME BACK AND ASKED ME TO BRING THE LOANER CAR THEY HAD SUPPLIED TO ME BACK BECAUSE THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE AND BEING BACKORDERED NATIONALLY. THEY HAD THEIR PARENT COMPANY PAY FOR A RENTAL VEHICLE BUT THERE WERE ISSUES WITH A COUPLE OF THOSE CARS TOO. IT IS NOW MAY 5, 2016 AND I HADN'T HEARD ANYTHI...
