| 1998 | AIR BAGS | BRIEF SUMMARY OF DEFECTIVE SAFETY GEAR: 09/26/98 THIS VEHICLE WAS TRAVELING 35-40MPH AND REAR-ENDED A TRUCK, NEITHER AIR-BAG DEPLOYED. NOW, 9/17/99, ATRUCK TRAVELING 35-40MPH REAR-ENDED THIS VEHICLE CAUSING ABOUT A 20MPH SMASH TO THE VEHICLE IN FRONT AND AGAIN, NO AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT AND THE FUEL PUMP CUT-OFF SWITCH FAILED TO FUNCTION. THIS TIME HOWEVER, THE DRIVER OF THIS VEHICLE RECEIVED DOUBLE THE WHIP-LASH EFFECT THAT COULD HAVE BEEN KEPT TO THE SINGLE INFLICTRD IN A REAR-END COLLISION INVOLVING ONLY TWO VEHICLES. A NEEDLESS NECK INJURY HAS BEEN SUFFERED THIS TIME AND I FEEL THAT IF THE AIR-BAGS WERE DEPLOYED, THE ELIMINATION OF THE FORWARD WHIP WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN A FACTOR OF THE NECK INJURY. |
