What owners wrote
Takata recall the 2014 ford fusion se rental car I was driving on 1/14/2015 while driving southbound on hall street with cross street of grimblin road in st. Louis mo. I was struck by another driver traveling northbound who made a u-turn and when the air bag deployed and exploded causing shards of glass and other foreign matter to be embedded in multiple locations on the left side of my face, forehead, eye. Along with eyelid laceration that required stitches with glass still in my eye.
I rear-ended a 2002 dodge ram. A guy was mad that I blew at him because he slept the previous traffic light and slammed on brakes at a green turning arrow and I hit him, he kept going. My whole front end is damaged. Air bags should've come out.
