Consumer Description

DRIVING AT APPROX. 2:30 PM IN INTERMITTENTLY RAINY CONDITIONS- I SUDDENLY FOUND MYSELF UNABLE TO CONTROL MY VEHICLE AND HAD TROUBLE SEEING MY SURROUNDINGS EVEN THOUGH I HAD NEW RAIN-X WIPERS ON. WHILE I APPLIED THE BRAKES THEY DID NOT WORK AS EFFECTIVELY AS THEY SHOULD. ADDITIONALLY, AFTER THE FIRST AND SECOND IMPACT (MULTIPLE VEHICLES WERE INVOLVED)- NO AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. I WAS THE ONLY PERSON IN THE VEHICLE AND STILL THE DRIVERS SIDE AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY. RESULTED IN TWO FATALITIES IN ANOTHER VEHICLE WHILE I SUFFERED A HEAD INJURY, FACIAL FRACTURES THAT REQUIRED SURGERY, AND A BROKEN COLLAR BONE FROM THE SEAT BELT THAT I COULD NOT AFFORD THE MEDICAL INTERVENTION REQUIRED FOR REPAIR. *JS
