Complaint about AIR BAGS

Consumer Complaint:
GREETINGS, HOPEFULLY YOU CAN ASSIST ME, WELL MY AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY IN A 2003 AUTO ACCIDENT SO NOTED IN THE SUPPLEMENT OF RECORD FROM GEICO (CLAIM #0074801720101031-03) "LINE 17: AIRBAGS SHOULD HAVE DEPLOYED, BUT DID NOT. THE CLOCKSPRING TRIGGERED BUT DID NOT INFLATE - LINE 26: SRS LIGHTS ON, NEEDED TO REPLACE CLOCKSPRING AND RESET LIGHTS. TIME IS NOT DIAGNOSIS AND R&R OF CLOCKSPRING." AFTER THE REAR-END COLLISION, I COULD NOT CATCH MY BREATH WITH MY THROAT, EYES WERE BURNING FROM SOMETHING I COULD NOT SEE. I DID NOT REALIZE THERE WAS A PROBLEM UNTIL LAST WEEK I PETITION MY MECHANIC TO LOOK AT THE HORN CONCERN, WHICH I UNDERSTAND IS A RESULT OF MY AIRBAG. I INITIALLY TOOK MY CAR TO QUALITY COLLISION CENTER ON SILVER STAR RD, ORLANDO, AS THEY ARE AN ELECTED REPAIR FACILITY FOR MY INSURANCE COMPANY, LIBERTY MUTUAL (LM). GEICO STATES THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO AS GEICO PAID FOR THE REPAIRS, YET THE QUALITY COLLISION CENTER DID NOT MAKE THEM AND THEY WILL NOT HONOR THE PREVIOUS OWNER¿S MISTAKE EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE UNDER LM'S TLC PROGRAM. PLEASE HELP ME, BECAUSE I AM POTENTIALLY OPERATING A VEHICLE WITH AN INOPERABLE AIR BAG SYSTEM. *TR
