What owners wrote
I was in a head on collision on 1-19-14, my airbag did not deploy when it hit the tree, only my passenger curtain bags. I was not diagnosed with my injuries by the er, I received 15 fractured ribs diagnosed on 1-31-14 and an acetabuler fracture diagnosed last wednesday. I am unable to put any weight on my right leg as it is a displaced fracture.this injury is directly related to my airbag not deploying. I have exhausted all the time I can possibly take from work.
