Description of the problem | On 3/31/09, i rolled my honda element four times (according to fhp report) on i-95, to avoid a construction ladder. No other vehicles were involved. Among other injuries, i suffered two full-width rotator cuff tears to my left shoulder. This was a direct result of the drivers side airbag only partially deploying. I have documented with several pictures or the bag still folded inside the seat fabric panel. The passenger side deployed fully, and you can clearly see the difference in deployment size difference of drivers side vs. Passengers side. Honda was notified, and denied any responsibility. |
