Consumer Description

I RAN INTO A LIGHT POLE IN A PARKING LOT ON JANUARY 13, 2013 IN KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI. I WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 15 MPH, MAKING A TURN INTO PHARMACY PICKUP LANE BEHIND THE CVS STORE. THE DRIVER AIRBAG DEPLOYED. I SUFFERED 8 FRACTURED RIBS AND NUMEROUS LACERATIONS. I SPENT 4 DAYS IN THE HOSPITAL, AND @ 3 WEEKS IN REHAB. I LOST APPROXIMATELY 4 WEEKS OF WORK. I STILL HAVE SCARS AND NECROTIC BUMPS ON MY CHEST WALL. VEHICLE WAS A TOTAL LOSS. AS FAR AS I KNOW IT'S IN THE LANDFILL. I AM BEGGING ONLY FOR NO MORE RECALL NOTICES TO BE SENT TO ME.
