Jetta

  • 9,000 miles
Vehicle rear-ended on a busy day between 5:00 pm to 6:00 pm on a Thursday. All the air-bags in the car deployed. The driver side air-bag stayed inflated for a long time, and the right side air-bag also did not deflate. Inflated air-bag held the driver so tight, and the driver could not exit out of the accident car. Simultaneously seat also held the driver so tight. The driver suffered a significant injury fracturing his sternum. The car was less than 40 mph at the time of the incident. The manufacturer downloaded the electronic data record from the car and never shared it with the driver despite the written request. Driver feels brake may have failed. Driver has to slide out of the car as the side air bag stayed inflated. Picture attached shows air-bag staying inflated even after 10-25 mins and started to go down slowly.
