Takata recall accident airbag did not deploy , auto airbag settlement portland settlement , accident , did not deploy when hit !
"takata recall" while entering the ramp to get on the eastex fwy. (ih 59) north bound, I observed that up ahead of me a vehicle was in a complete stop while on the freeway. I tried to switch lanes but I had another vehicle to my left which made it impossible for me to switch lanes. I then ran into the back of the other car which caused the accident. After colliding with the stopped vehicle, I was thrust forward into the steering wheel of my car.
