Filed May 13, 2019 · Airbags, Engine · CA

I've been getting contacted about lemon law cases for my car - my specific year, make and model but I can't find old receipts that would help me with the cases. My airbag sign keeps going off and the engine is in horrible shape. I have to put in a "thicker" motor fuel to keep it from burning although I do my oil changes regularly. This has been going on for more than a year now. I can't remember the exact date it started happening so I put 1/1/18 as the date below.

On july 20, 2010, I was stopped at a traffic light when I was rear-ended by another vehicle. The force of the crash was such that the rear of the car I was driving sustained several thousand dollars in damage. The force also, propelled me into the car stopped in front of me. This other car sustained damage to their bumper to dislodge it from its supports and throw their rear window off track. There is no place in the repair bill that stated that the airbag was reset because it failed to deploy. Given the fact that the rear crumple zone was destroyed, and the rear quarter panels were replaced, this car is rented by budget under the guise of it being safe. The paperwork I received from budget also states that the features of this nissan sentra (2010) is front, rear and side airbags. Since all of the rear of the car was destroyed it can be safely assumed that the airbag sensor should have been triggered. If both from the rear of the car definitely from the force of my car being propelled into the car in front of me. Budget rented this car as being a "safe" car with this nissan safety equipment when it clearly is not.
