The vehicle was involved in a low impact frontal collision but the side impact air bags deployed. The driver sustained 4 herniated disc in her neck, because she was hit by the air bag from the side. The consumer called the manufacturer and was told that there was a recall on the air bags, but since she had a problem with her air bags before the recall they would not replace the air bags.
