Component | AIR BAGS |
Product type code | VEHICLE |
Description of the problem | My vehicle was rear-ended and shoved into a third vehicle. We were on an interstate highway with wet pavement, and traffic was slowing. We were traveling straight. The airbags did not deploy, and my wife, belted in the front passenger seat, was twisted sideways by the impact. She experienced a pelvic fracture and aggravation of her arthritic left hip joint. We believe that airbag deployment would have prevented these injuries. I have attached three event data files and vehicle control history files. (i can't see if all three are attached.) |
