Consumer Description

TAKATA RECALLON BUT THIS IS NOT UNDER THE RECALL, BUT I DID SEE IT THERE WERE RECALLED IN EUROPE JUST THE OTHER DAY FOR NOT GOING OFF AS WELL AS GOING OFF WITHOUT BEING HIT. I JUST WISH MINE HAD GONE OFF. 09/23/2018 I WAS HIT HEADON BY A VEHICLE GOING 45 MPH. THERE WAS NO WHERE ON MY FRONT END THAT WAS NOT EFFECTED BY THE ACCIDENT. RESEARCHING I FOUND WHERE THE SENSORS WERE FOR THE AIR BAG, EACH ON EACH SIDE OF THE RADITOR WAS HIT. THE AIR BAG DID NOT DEFLATE CASING MYSELF NECK AND BACK INJURY THAT WILL NEVER REPAIR. PICTURES WILL SHOW THAT THERE IS NO WAY NONE OF THE AIR BAG SENSORS WERE NOT DAMAGED OR HIT TO ADVISE THE AIR BAG TO GO OFF AND HOLD THE PERSON IN PLACE SO THEY DO NOT GET SLUNG AROUND LIKE A RAG DOLL UNTIL THE ACCIDENT IS OVER. I REMEMBER SEEING THAT THE ACCIDENT WAS GOING TO HAPPEN, I JUST DID NOT THINK I WOULD OF BEEN INVOLVED IN IT. UNFORTUNATELY, A TRUCK HIT ANOTHER VEHICLE WHICH THAT VEHICLE SLAMMED INTO ME AT FULL FORCE. I FIRST WAS SLUNG INTO THE DOOR, THE NEXT THING I REMEMBER IS MY ACCELERATOR STICKING SO I HAD TO TURN OFF MY KEY TO AVOID FLYING ACROSS A BUSY ROAD. I HAVE A BULDGING DISC, DAMAGED TENDONS AND MUSCLES. I AM 61 YEARS OLD AND NOW FEAR THAT IF HIT EVER AGAIN THE AIR BAG WILL NOT DEPLOY.
