Consumer Description

"TAKATA RECALL" I WAS IN A CAR ACCIDENT ON 4/8/19 IT DID NOT INVOLVE ANOTHER VEHICLE. IT WAS RAINING AND I WAS COMING OFF THE HIGHWAY TO MY EXIT AND LOOKED TO MY LEFT TO SEE IF I WAS ABLE TO MERGE, WHEN I DID MY RIGHT TIRE HIT THE SIDE OF SOME WET GRASS AND WHEN IT DID MY CAR STARTED SPINNING OUTTA CONTROL AND I ENDED UP HITTING A PALM TREE STRAIGHT ON. MY AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY AND I ENDED UP WITH A BROKEN BACK IN 2 PLACES. I HAD 2 HAVE 2 SURGERY'S THUS FAR. I HAD MY SEAT BELT ON. THE IMPACT WAS HARD ENOUGH FOR THE BAGS TO DEPLOY BUT THEY DIDN'T. THE DOCTOR SAID IF MY AIR BAGS WOULD OF DEPLOYED I WOULD NOT HAVE SUFFERED A BROKEN BACK. ITS CAUSED ME LOTS OF PAIN AND SUFFERING DUE TO BROKEN BACK AND LOSS OF A NEW JOB I WAS ABOUT TO START THE NEXT DAY. THE ATTACHED PHOTOS SHOW THE DRIVER SIDE WHERE I HIT AND SHOWS NO AIR BAG IN SITE.
