Was told that spring inside steering had shorted. And just so happens a recall was issued on that problem but not in my vehicle and I want to know how you can justify not fixing my airbag which was removed by the mechanics at the dealership that wants me to pay a thousand dollars to replace a bag which may be defective anyway. Due to information on the T.V. and the web shards my be inside the bags.

I was driving my 2006 Pontiac Vibe South on interstate 79 in rural pennslvania when the brakes soundly failed to respond. I stepped on the peddle but the car failed to slow, and the cruise control failed to disengage. To avoid an hitting the car in front of me, I swerved into the shoulder, continuing to apply the brakes. As I tried to slow, the car fishtailed and I skidded into the interstate again and hit the opposite guardrail. Antilock brakes did not engage. Finally, when I crashed, the car's airbag failed to deploy, despite the entire front end of the car caving in (resulting in a total loss of the car). Fortunately, I was wearing my seat belt and did not strike another vehicle, so none one was hurt, but the car was a total loss.
