NHTSA Complaint #10864204 — 2011 GMC TERRAIN

TAKATA RECALL? ON MARCH 12, MY WIFE AND I WERE IN A COLLISION WITH ANOTHER VEHICLE. WE WERE ON A CITY STREET IN TULSA, OKLAHOMA WHEN WE REARENDED ANOTHER VEHICLE. IT WAS A FAIRLY MINOR ACCIDENT AT LESS THAN 40 MPH, BUT MY WIFE SUSTAINED SEVERE INJURIES TO HER RIGHT EYE AND BOTH ARMS. SHE BROKE THE MAJOR BONE IN BOTH OF HER ARMS RIGHT ABOVE THE WRIST AREA, AND HER RIGHT EYE WAS LACERATED AND EXPLODED FROM THE SOCKET. SHE HAS BEEN THROUGH NUMEROUS SURGERIES FOR HER EYE AND ARMS. SHE IS CURRENTLY BLIND IN HER RIGHT EYE. HER SEATBELT DID NOT RESTAIN HER FROM COMING FORWARD, AND WE STILL DO NOT KNOW WHAT HIT HER IN THE EYE. ALL OF THE AIRBAGS IN THE CAR EXPLODED, AND WE BELIEVE THAT THIS MIGHT HAVE CAUSED HER EYE INJURY, BUT WE ARE UNSURE AS TO WHY HER SEATBELT WOULD HAVE NOT RESTRAINED HER FROM WHAT CAUSED THE INJURIES TO HER ARMS AND EYE.
