 Description of the problemTakata airbags: knocked unconscious. After turning right onto a street & accelerating to about 20 mph over about 150 yards, i hit a car that was stopped in the street. I had my seatbelt on. The airbag knocked me unconscious for at least 10 seconds. (i weigh 122 lbs & i'm 5 ft 3. 5 in.) i didn't realize i'd been knocked out: i looked down to see a partially inflated airbag. I didn't realize i' been unconscious or that my eyeglasses had been knocked off. Based on what i saw, i thought the airbag hadn't fully inflated. But my 13-year old daughter, who was in the back seat, said she had thought i was dead because she repeatedly called to me after the airbag deployed and i didn't answer. I never heard her or even knew my chest/face was against the airbag. My daughter said my face and chest were slumped against the airbag. I was shocked: all i knew was that i just saw the car i was going to hit, braked, and then saw a partially inflated airbag. But my chest hurt. The next day my chest hurt so much i couldn't press the cap onto a magic marker. The left side of my face felt like i had something on it (like a piece of cloth), and my left cheek at the cheekbone was swollen and bruised. The vision in my left eye was blurry, too. So i went to the er where they did ct scans of my chest and brain. They said i had a mild concussion. I got a partial black eye about 4 days later, and i noticed a 4" by 4" bruise on the outside of my right calf. Even today--28 days after the accident--my chest and calf still hurt. I was only going about 20 mph when the accident happened. I was only starting to accelerate onto a 40 mph street and probably only got to 18 or 20 mph when i saw the car in front of me, hit the brakes, and then hit the car. My car has been declared a total loss because of the deployment of the airbags. My daughter, who had her seatbelt on in the back seat, was unharmed.
