| Description of the problem | My vehicle struck another vehicle straight-on, broadside in a "t-bone" accident at approximately 40 mph on a two-lane, 45 mph roadway on a clear, dry, sunny day with no time to apply my brakes and neither the steering wheel airbag nor the driver's side side air bags deployed. The speed of the other vehicle then caused my vehicle to be dragged across the oncoming lane and up a five foot embankment. Only the passenger's side side air bags deployed on impact. The steering wheel air bag later deployed when my vehicle was being towed. My vehicle is a total loss. The other vehicle's two driver's side doors were pushed in past the frame of the car. The air bag recall for my year allegedly doesn't apply to my vin.*dt*dt*dt*jb*jb |
