A recent case in Florida underscores this reality, shedding light on a disturbing trend that threatens consumer safety and underscores the need for vigilant oversight in the used vehicle market. A recent incident involving a used truck buyer who contacted the Florida Attorney General after discovering a ‘hack job’ airbag repair exemplifies the perils of buying pre-owned vehicles. This case came to public attention when a technician uncovered substandard repair work on the airbag system of a used truck, prompting the buyer to escalate the matter to the state’s top legal authority.
