AIR BAGS
IN HEAD ON COLLISION, ESTIMATED SPEED ON IMPACT ROUGHLY 20-25 MPH--AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY---SHOULD IT HAVE? NOT SURE WHAT SPEED WOULD CAUE AIRBAG TO DEPLOY- IF THERE IS A DEFECT IN MY AIRBAG SYSTEM,BECAUSE IT DID NOT DEPLOY, RESUME WITH A CLASS ACTION, WHICH I WILL CHECK OFF, IF THERE IS NO RECOURSE OR REASON WHY MY AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY, I FEEL THAT IT SHOULD HAVE, BUT ANYWAY, IF THERE IS REASON TO SUBSTANCIATE THE AIR BAG NOT GOING OFF, THE I WILL DISREGARD THE CLASS ACTION. PLEASE REPLY ASAP IF POSSIBLE. AND YES, I RECEIVED MINOR INJURY ANYWAY. THANK YOU. CAROL COYLE

POWER TRAIN
IN DECEMBER, 2000, WITH ONLY 5000 MILES ON THE CAR, THE TRANSMISSION LOCKED UP AND NEEDED TO BE TOWED BACK TO THE DEALER. SINCE THEN, THE CAR HAS HAD NOTHING BUT TRANSMISSION TROUBLES. THE TRANSMISSION HAS GOTTEN STUCK IN 2ND GEAR WHILE OUT ON THE HIGH WAY. WHEN SLOWING DOWN, IT HAS SUDDENLY JERKED INTO FIRST GEAR, CAUSING THE CAR TO NOT ACCELERATE. IT HAS JERKED INTO 2ND GEAR, FEELING LIKE THE CAR HAS BEEN REAR ENDED. EACH TIME IT HAS BEEN BACK TO THE DEALER, THEY CAN FIND NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR. PRESENTLY, AT 45,000 MILES, IT IS GETTING ANOTHER NEW TRANSMISSION.
