We has our truck in for repairs 5 weeks prior due to the airbag light coming on. It was repaired but now the light came back on. We brought it back in and now are being told the wires are corroded propbably from moisture (we live in the desert where it does not rain, nor is it exposed to moisture). The airbag has to be replaced and is costing us over $800.

We were making a stop at the light , when a 18-wheeler didn't stop and hit us in the back ,pushing us towards the bus that was in front of us , making the glass of the back break and throwing all the crystals in our body and clothes ,the air bags never open , the front seats were broken and 3 of the 4 doors couldn't close anymore, the driver tried to make a move to the left or right , but he could not , because we were stuck, when we realize there were no major injury, we stayed until the red cross came to check our condition,but there were crystals everywhere so we couldn't move without hurting ourselves. We buy the truck with 2 miles,we are the only owners.

I was driving into the parking garage at work to a parking spot. As I braked and slowed turning into the parking spot the truck accelerated and crashed into a concrete support beam. Airbags deployed and the truck suffered quite a bit of damages to the passenger side front end. I am unsure of speed at time of accident.
