Consumer Description

ON FEB. 10, 2008, I WAS DRIVING MY HONDA CIVIC LX ON HIGHWAY 400, JUNCTION 89, MY CAR LOST CONTROL, AND BECAUSE THERE WERE SNOW ON THE GROUND, I CANNOT STOP THE CAR, I KEEP ON PUMPING THE BRAKE, AS IF I USED THE ABS, I WOULD HAVE SLIDE DOWN TO THE VALLEY. HOWEVER, I WAS NOT ABLE TO HAVE CONTROL OF THE CAR AT ALL AND IT HIT HEAD ON THE GUARD RAIL, THE WHOLE FRONT AND ENGINE WAS COMPLETELY CRUSHED. WITH SUCH KIND OF IMPACT, THE AIR BAG SHOULD DEPLOY, BUT IT DID NOT DEPLOY, THE CAR WAS UNREPAIRABLE AND IS A TOTAL WRITE OFF. THE POLICE AND THE AMBULANCE TOOK ME TO THE HOSPITAL. HOWEVER, THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME THAT THE AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY, AS ONE TIME A WOMAN CAME OUT FROM A PLAZA WITHOUT LOOKING THAT IT IS ALL CLEAR, HER TRUCK HIT THE RIGHT SIDE AND THE RIGHT FRONT OF MY CAR, THE AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY EITHER. *TR
