Consumer Description

MY DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING ON A GRAVEL ROAD, GOING AROUND A CURVE. ANOTHER VEHICLE CAME AROUND THE CURVE FROM THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION AND HIT HER HEAD ON. BOTH AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. MY DAUGHTER (DRIVER) AND A PASSENGER BOTH HAD MINOR HEAD INJURIES DUE TO HITTING THE WINDSHIELD. THE CAR IS CONSIDERED A TOTAL LOSS. I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED OF ANY RECALL ON THE AIR BAGS. BOTH GIRLS HAD TO SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION DUE TO THE CONCERN OF HEAD INJURY AND/OR CONCUSSION, RESULTING IN MEDICAL COSTS. *TR
