• Air bags

  I was driving late at night in normal weather on a regular 1 lane street when my passenger side airbag went off for no reason causing me to lose control of the car which went into a full 360 spin out causing damage to the tires and frame making the car no longer drivable. It has not been inspected or repaired because our insurance had just lapsed and we don’t know what to do in this situation. It is available for inspection as it just sits at our house.
