Hi PPL. now a days almost all the cars are offering airbags as a safty feature, how ever i jus got some questions abt it.
1. After how much impact do the airbags pop out? Would like to knw this as at times u might jus bump in to a car or other cars mite bump into u from behind at low speeds and one might not really need an airbag to be saved. Especially, if u hv bought a new car, there are chances that u might be involved in minor accidents. But if airbags pop-out in such minor accidents, then it will be very expensive to maitaine it.
2. How much is the cost to put the airbags back one they pop-out?
3. Does insurance cover fixing airbags after an accident?
I heard they cost approx 20k. If thats the rate to fix it, then PPL will think twice abt buy a car with airbags, especially in the B+ segment, where one might be able to afford it but maitainence might become expensive.
Waiting for reply!!
