None of the airbags in the car deployed when I was in a high-impact front-end collision traveling at 45 mph. I was wearing my seatbelt, but the airbags did not deploy. I did not have the added protection of the airbags, so my injuries were much more severe than they would have been if the airbags had deployed. I have 2, possibly 3 fractures in my neck and spine, 2 fractures to the ribs near the sternum, organ damage, necrosis and nerve damage to the right leg, severe whiplash and many more injuries. The insurance company inspected the car after the car accident, Pioneer Insurance Company. There were no warning lights on that would indicate a problem with the airbags. I had been driving that car for years and never had a problem with the airbags. To my knowledge, no one has ever been in an accident in this car that would require the use of the airbags. I expected the airbags to work if I ever needed them and they did not, without warning.

Under heavy braking conditions the vehicles ABS system did not engage and the vehicle slid losing control. There was a safety recall R61 which was documented as completed 20 May 2016, but inspection of the ABS ground wire shows it in its original position when compared to page 18 of the recall instruction. There has been no work on the ABS module since the recall.

WHEN AIRBAGS DEPLOYED, AIRBAG AT FOOT CONTROL PANEL (GAS/BRAKE) DEPLOYS MOVING FEET OFF OF BRAKE PEDAL. THIS REMOVES EMERGENCY CONTROL BY OPERATOR TO STOP VEHICLE. OPERATOR TRIED TO STOP AT INTERSECTION AFTER ANOTHER CAR FAILED TO YIELD/ SLOW DOWN AT INTERSECTION. AFTER INITIAL CONTACT AIRBAGS DEPLOYED AND VEHICLE TRAVELED ANOTHER 50YARDS UNTIL COMING TO STOP IN DITCH. THE LOWER OPERATOR AIRBAG IMPEDED THE USE OF BRAKES BY THE OPERATOR. HAD THERE BEEN MORE TRAFFIC IT WOULD HAVE CAUSED MORE ACCIDENTS.

I WAS DRIVING LAST NIGHT UP A TWO LANE STREET AND ALL OF A SUDDEN MY AIRBAGS DEPLOY. I NOTICED MY AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON A FEW DAYS AGO BUT IT TURNED BACK OFF YESTERDAY. WHEN THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED MY CAR SHIFTED CAUSING IT TO HIT THE CURB A LITTLE. I WAS ABLE TO SHIFT THE CAR TO THE RIGHT AND PARK IT BUT THE ENTIRE CAR SHUT OFF. I NEED MY CAR FIXED AND DONT KNOW HOW TO DO THIS.
