I also received severe brusing and permanent nerve damage in my chest . …”

“I own Toyota carolla (1994 model) and my wife was involved in an accident - front impact. She must be travelling between 20-25 MPH when the accident occur and still the driver and passenger side airbag didn't inflate. Because of this she had bruised her jaw and broke the bone on her side face. No changes have been made in order to avoid any repeition like this. I would expect the driver side airbags to inflate on frontal impact.”

“Air bag deployed causing injury. The air bag almost rendered me unconscious. The automobile although totalled provided maximum passenger protection. The air bag system on all cars are an injury hazzard. My only emergency room treatment was due to the air bag lacerations and abrasions.”

“While driving 20 MPH driver applied the brake pedal and vehicle failed to stop. It collided into the vehicle in front. Upon impact, both frontal air bags failed to deploy. Driver was able to drive the vehicle to a garage for inspection. The cause ha not been determined.”

“Vehicle was rearended and pushed forward into a vehicle in front,driver's side airbag deployed, causing laceration to face and chin and burns on chest.seatbelts were worn at the time, but the passenger side shoulder belt did not retract, relying entirely on the waist belt to hold passenger, who was thrown forward.”
