| Description of the problem | My car went airborne when i hit a railroad crossing with a steep drop off, landed in a ditch and flipped several times end over end, landing upside down. I was airlifted to an area hospital. Only 1 of the 6 airbags deployed. I lost feeling in the side of my face where my head broke the driver's side window and almost bled out. I now have seizures and was recently fired from my job due to having 2 seizures at work. I have only worked part time in the last 2 years. If the air bags had deployed, i would've walked away uninjured. I was also trapped when my hand went through the top window. I was left hanging and had to hold my face with my free hand to stop the bleeding until help arrived. If top airbags would've deployed, my hand wouldn't have been caught under the vehicle. I expected all 6 airbags to work when i bought this vehicle. The impact of the crash should've made all these airbags deploy. The vehicle was completely totaled. |
