Golf 4-cyl Diesel

  • Manual transmission
  • 34,000 miles
Car was rear-ended at a stop light. Car cascaded into the cars in front. Airbags did not deploy on drivers side. Airbags (4) deployed on passenger side only. There was no passenger. Seems I could have used the airbag protection on my side. (driver).
