What owners wrote

Takata recall. I had sat through a red light at an intersection and the light gave me a green arrow. I was trying to make a left turn and the at fault driver ran the red light and hit me in the drivers door. My head hit the window and the airbag deployed as I was coming off the window. I was pinned between the window and the airbag. The airbag did not deflate until someone found a pocket knife to cut it so I could sit up. Resulting injuries were to my head, neck, and ribs.
