I was stopped in traffic because a few cars ahead of me someone was stopped to turn left. I was rear ended by someone in a Nissan rogue SUV which hit me with enough force to push my car forward and smash me into a Ford Explorer. I was hit twice and my airbags did not deploy and my car sustained substantial rear-end and front damage. So much so that the car was declared a total loss. My air bag did not deploy and from the damage done should have. If it had, I would of sustained less injuries from my accident.

Possible takata inflators: Car in motion hit a large, unexpected, recently fallen tree limb on a public street and rolled over it. The front bumper completely removed and the side airbag went off. However, the front airbag did not deploy causing a visual (ct scan) crack in the driver's sternum. Please note my name is [xxx] and I am writing this on behalf of my mother.

While parking the car in the parking space, it suddenly self-accelerated, jumped the curb, and crashed into the wall in front of the car resulting in injuries to both the driver (2 fractured neck vertebrae, 3 fractured ribs on right side, and broken left foot) and passenger (laceration to right hand and bruised ribs on left side). The acceleration was too fast for either the driver or passenger to respond. Airbags did not deploy, and the car was considered a total loss due to the extensive damage to the front end.

  • 17,500 miles
And around 17,000 miles the car developed an extremely loud squeak that sounded as those it was coming from the dashboard. I took it to the dealer who discovered that were loose bolts from the factory causing the front bumper to squeak. In the process of looking for the squeak they dismantled the dash board. Now the dashboard has come apart around the passenger airbag and cannot be put back to original factory specs. This is an extremely dangerous situation for a passenger in the event of the airbag deployment.
