| 2004 | AIR BAGS:FRONTAL:SENSOR/CONTROL MODULE | WHILE DRIVING HOME ONE NIGHT ON A DRY 2 LANE RURAL ROAD, TRAVELING IN A 55 MPH ZONE AT ONLY 45 MPH, I SWERVED TO MISS A DEER STANDING IN THE ROAD IN MY LANE. THERE WAS AN ONCOMING CAR AND I SWERVED BACK INTO MY LANE AND THE CAR FISH TAILED CAUSING A COUNTER ACTION ON MY PART AND I HIT THE CONCRETE BRIDGE WITH A GLANCING BLOW, SKIDDED SIDEWAYS ON TWO WHEELS ON THE BRIDGE AND ALMOST FLIPPED OVER. AFTER THE INITIAL IMPACT I REALIZED THAT THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. AFTER A BODY SHOP INSPECTED THE CAR THEY DISCOVERED THAT THE SENSOR HAD BEEN HIT AND SHOULD HAVE DEPLOYED THE AIRBAGS. I AM NOW SUFFERING FROM WHIPLASH AND BACK STRAIN. THE CAR WAS TOTALED. I AM NOW PURSUING ACTION AGAINST DODGE. *JB |
