## Narrative
PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG / SEAT SENSOR MALFUNCTIONED SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASING THE VEHICLE. SEEN MANY OTHER COMPLAINANTS EXACTLY THE SAME ISSUE. GOT IN A CAR ACCIDENT AND MY PASSENGER WAS ALMOST KILLED AS THE AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY. THE MANUFACTURES REALLY NEEDS TO RECALL AND FIX THESE SEAT SENSORS. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON WAY TO LONG. ALSO THE CONDITIONING UNIT FAILED DUE TO FAULTY MANUFACTURING.
