Consumer Description

WE WERE TRAVELING ON SR 540 WHEN A DRUNK DRIVER (DRIVING A FORD F150 EXTENTED CAB) PULLED OUT IN FRONT OF US. OUR HONDA CIVIC BROADSIDED THE FORD AT A SPEED OF ROUGHLY 45MPH CRUSHING THE FRONT END OF THE HONDA WITHOUT EITHER AIR BAG DEPLOYING. THE IMPACT OF THE ACCIDENT WAS SO SEVERE THE FORD FLIPPED. THE DRIVER OF THE HONDA SUSTAINED A CONCUSION AND BRUSING FROM HITTING THE DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW ASSEMBLY. DRIVER ALSO SUBSTAINED BRUSING OF THE CHEST FROM THE SEATBELT, NECK AND BACK SORENESS. THE PASSENGER SUBSTAINED A CUT ON RIGHT LEG AND BRUSING FROM UNDERNEATH THE GLOVEBOX ASSEMBLY. PASSENGER ALSO HAS WHIPLASH AND BRUSING FROM SEATBELT. BOTH OCCUPANTS WERE TAKEN TO THE HOSPITAL FOR EVALUATION. HOW DOES THE ENTIRE FRONT END OF A CAR CRUSH UPON IMPACT AND THE TWO FRONT AIR BAGS DON'T DEPLOY! THIS NEEDS THE ATTENTION OF THE MANUFACTURER SO THIS PROBLEM IS FIXED.*AK
