“Takata recall. When in a front end collision at a high rate of speed (est. 70-80 MPH), at impact, no air bags were deployed and resulted in hitting my head either against the steering wheel or the driver's side window (I am unsure, as I lost consciousness for seconds after the collision). This collision occurred, most recently, on 08/28/18. I was also involved in a front end collision with a semi-truck/18-wheeler in february of 2018. This was also at a high rate of speed but the impact was to the passenger side, predominantly. …”
