Open the full vehicle complaint log (all categories)I'VE READ ONLINE THAT THE VEHICLE YEAR MODEL AND MAKE IS SET FOR RECALL BECAUSE OF FAULTY AIRBAGS. AIRBAGS THAT CAN DEPLOY SHARP OBJECTS CAUSING SERVER DAMAGE OR POSSIBLY DEATH. I NEED TO KNOW MORE ABOUT THIS INFORMATION.
I WAS BROADSIDED BY DRIVER WHO RAN A RED LIGHT AND MY AIR BAGS DID NOT WORK DON'T KNOW WHY THEY DIDN'T I WAS TRAVELING W/B LANCASTER BLVD AND WAS COMING SOUTH BOUND ON A RED LIGHT THERE IS A TRAFFIC COLLISION REPORT IS THERE ANYTHING I CAN DO. *JS
ACCELERATING ON THE EXPRESSWAY IN TRAFFIC UP 40 MPH, DRY CONDITIONS. VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME STOPPED QUICKLY. WHEN I DEPRESSED THE BRAKE HARD, I HAD NO ABS ASSIST. UPON IMPACT, THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY EVEN THOUGH IT WAS A HIGH ENERGY IMPACT. THE VEHICLE DAMAGE CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO BE SCRAPPED AND NOT FIXED. BASED ON THE VEHICLE SPEED AND RATE OF DECELERATION, I WOULD EXPECT THAT THE ABS SYSTEM WOULD HAVE BEEN ENGAGED AND THE AIRBAGS SHOULD HAVE DEPLOYED. IF THE ABS WOULD HAVE BEEN ENGAGED, I BELIEVE THE VEHICLE WOULD HAVE STOPPED IN TIME. THE VEHICLE IN QUESTION HAS BEEN RECALLED FOR AN IGNITION SWITCH DEFECT THAT CAUSES THE DISABLING OF THE ABS AND AIRBAGS. DRIVER SUSTAINED A SPRAINED ANKLE. *TR
