brakes didnt work and hit a car.? I hit the car pretty hard because it was brake faliure "i think" Also the air bage and the seat belt work. Is this a manufacutres defect ? and can do anything with the accident. ? Would I be able to get a new car or will they fix the air bages or something ?
I mean the seat belts and air bags didnt work. The police said I should get it checked.
 
did you check the brake fluid level, it is necessary for the hydraulic action to engage the brakes. are the rotors or drums frozen? how about is the brake cable linkage connected?
 
Your insurance if your carry collision and comp will cover your damage. If you only carry liability, then you are on your own. As to the brakes not working-only you can answer that. If the system failed due to lack of maintenance on your part then no there is nothing you can do. if it was found to be a manufactors defective part then I suppose that is what lawyers are for.
 
Your insurance doesn't cover. Trust me, I work at FakeInsuranceCompany.
 
It sounds like you are trying to find someone else to blame for your accident. Most likely, you were not paying close enough attention and didn't brake soon enough. If there were a defect in the car, that would not absolve you of responsibility because you are (by law) responsible for the condition of the car that you are driving.
 
The insurance company will, for sure, be able to tell whether or not it was brake failure or brake malfunction. They can test all of that stuff, especially the new models like you have!
Even if it was brake failure, that does not mean that you are clear. You have a responsibility to maintain your car. Only if there is a clearly defective part (and they issue a recall) can you 'get out of this one'...and that is a maybe

~Do not~ 'cry wolf" (say that it was brake failure) if , indeed, it was not.
You will be a liar, and they won't believe anything else you say.
