    I was recently in a car accident which was my fault, however the airbag did not go off or was never there to begin with ( its a used car). The crash was head on and the airbag most definitely should have gone off. *tr

    Car dealers are allowed to sell new cars with no spare tire or jack. I assume this is to increase the potential gas mileage for advertising. Their policy is to only include a can of air which may or may not work when needed. They are also not keeping replacement tires in stock.

    My 2002 hyundai elantra accelerated after making a hesitation and a very loud noise. I crashed into a tree head on and had multiple injuries. A witness said he heard the loud noise and the car take off with a great amount of speed. After the car was towed to the towing yard, we were told that the accelerator was still wide open when they started the car to move it. I contacted hyundai and filled out paperwork they…
