    I was turning left on a yellow light in a busy intersection during rush hour. The car opposite of mine was not paying attention and hit the bumper of my car. My air bag did not go off and my seat belt doesn't pull out the way it should now.

    In june of 2009 i took my 2007 ford focus in for regular oil changing maintenance as well as to find out while the seat belt light came on when my seat belt was latched.

I again spoke with a representative who now…
