On Oct. 19,2007, I was involved in a head-on collision at a speed of 30mph. I struck the steering wheel which caused me neck and shoulder pain along with some bruising. The air bags never deployed. The car is a total loss with over $10,000 in damages and the air bags did not deploy. That does not sit well with me.

I was in an accident on 2/24/07 in which a lady ran a red light and hit the front end of my 2006 PT CRUISER at maybe 30 mph. I hit my head forcefully against the driver panel near the windshield in which my air bag did not deploy and I sustain head injury with loss of consciousness. I now have a hematoma with a black eye, severe head aches, severe neck and shoulder pain, and some dizziness throughout the day, I am also suffering from painful body aches including but not limited to my lower back and knees, towing and paramedics were confused as to why my air bag did not deploy, also the sensor has been activated and I was told that I could be driving and without notice these bags can deploy if the car if fixable, I am afraid, I have 2 children who rides with me in this car. How my times has this happen and are there any complaints about this from other owner of this type of car"???"
