The red dash airbag light began flashing continuously approximately 4 months ago. I took it to a neighborhood automobile repair shop where the problem was diagnosed.

I was hit while driving by another vehicle going 65 miles per hour. He hit me on the passenger side. Upon impact, all the airbags exploded shattering in thousands of pieces hitting me like shrapnels in my eyes, face, hands, neck, lungs. I was temporarily blinded, so I hit another car. I spent 10 days in the hospital. I have problems in my lungs, my eyes, lost my teeth, and I am scared for life.
