Open the full vehicle complaint log (all categories)THE DRIVER'S AIRBAG EXPLODED ON MY LEFT SIDE, CUTTING MY LEFT ARM AND RENDERING ME DEAF IN BOTH EARS FROM THE IMPACT WHEN I WAS HIT ON THE LEFT REAR PANEL BY A MOTORCYCLE, KILLING THE RIDER. MY HEARING IS PERMANENTLY DAMAGED AND I HAVE SUSTAINED BACK AND NECK INJURY. I WAS IN A MEDIAN BETWEEN FOUR LANES OF TRAFFIC ON A STATE ROAD AND STATIONARY WHEN HIT. MY CAR WAS TURNED COMPLETELY AROUND BY THE IMPACT AND THE AIRBAG EXPLODED AFTER I WAS SITTING STILL, WHICH WAS A HUGE SHOCK TO ME. IT WAS A DELAYED REACTION. THE LEFT REAR PANEL WAS DESTROYED AND THE REAR WINDOW AND THE VEHICLE WAS CONSIDERED TOTALED. *TR *JS
AT TIMES WHEN I AM DRIVING THE PASSENGER AIR BAG IS TURNED OFF. SOME TIMES MY CAR EMERGENCY BREAK COMES ON BUT THERE IS NO ONE IN FRONT OF ME
