Description of the problem | Takata recall. The air bags deployed for no apparent reason at all while my 25yr old daughter was driving my 2013 nissan rogue on the highway home from a charity event. When the air bags deployed, it caused my daughter to lose control and hit the guard rails. My daughter suffered severe head trauma, bleeding and bruises, injury to her eye, scratches and burns from whatever the substance was in the air bags. She spent the day in the hospital with numerous tests done, had some surgical procedures done, on medications. Some of her bruises resulted in swellings and more bruises. She still has a long way to go and is still under the doctors' care. Thank god she's alive but my truck was a total loss. My daughter's self-esteem is low because she's having a hard time dealing with the pain, scars and bruises. Her slow recovery is still affecting her loss from work and inconvenience of even getting to work because the insurance companyhas deemed my truck a total loss. My daughter is still undergoing more medical treatment and i'm trying to concentrate on getting well and work about the medical bills later. She still has constant headaches daily because of her head injuries and now light is affecting her which cannot be controlled everywhere she goes. As a mother, i hate to see my daughter in this pain every day, i feel helpless. I want my daughter to have a bright future, but she's always sad or crying because of the pain. This is not fair. |
