A Chevrolet Malibu was allegedly totaled and then repaired with counterfeit airbag parts. It was then sold to a private individual, who ultimately died during a crash. The plaintiffs claim that the driver's death was due to a counterfeit airbag that shot shrapnel to the driver. A lawsuit in Florida alleges that several companies share the blame for a young woman's death. She was driving a Chevrolet Malibu that had been in an accident before she bought it.
It's the belief of the plaintiffs that she would've survived the crash had the seat belt and airbag been repaired properly or the car had simply been taken out of service altogether before it was sold to her. In total, the family is suing Enterprise, Jumbo Automotive, Jilin, Manheim Auctions, and DriveTime. The suit claims that Enterprise owed a duty to remove the vehicle from service rather than repair it and resell it.
