NHTSA Complaint #11144629 — 2015 LEXUS NX200T

ON OCTOBER 31, 2018 AT APPROXIMATELY 5:15 PM I WAS INVOLVED IN A TRAFFIC CRASH WHERE MY DRIVER AIRBAG FAILED TO DEPLOY DURING A T-BONE COLLISION AT SPEEDS OF 35-40 MPH.I WAS TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN ANOTHER DRIVER CAME THROUGH A SIDE ROAD WITHOUT STOPPING. THE FRONT OF MY VEHICLE IMPACTED THE DRIVERS DOOR OF THE OTHER VEHICLE INVOLVED. THE OTHER VEHICLE INVOLVED HAD THEIR AIRBAGS DEPLOY PROTECTING THEM FROM THE COLLISION. I WAS PROPERLY RESTRAINED WITH MY SEATBELT, HOWEVER, SUSTAINED INJURY TO MY CHEST FROM IMPACTING THE STEERING WHEEL AND WAS TRANSPORTED TO THE HOSPITAL. ADDITIONALLY MY VEHICLE HAD JUST BEEN IN FOR SERVICE AND AT NO TIME DID I HAVE ANY TROUBLE LIGHTS OR NOTIFICATION TO INDICATE THERE COULD BE A PROBLEM. THERE WAS SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE TO BOTH VEHICLES, SPECIFICALLY THE FRONT OF MY CAR MAKING IT INOPERABLE. PHOTOS WERE TAKEN AND A POLICE REPORT IS CURRENTLY BEING PREPARED BY THE TENNESSEE HIGHWAY PATROL.
