| 2001 | AIR BAGS:FRONTAL | IWAS INVOLVED IN A RATHER SERIOUS ACCIDENT IN WHICH I COLLIDED WITH A BUICK CENTURY THAT RAN A STOP SIGN. I WAS TRAVELING 30-35 AND MY FRONT END COLLIDED WITH THE DRIVERS SIDE OF THE OTHER CAR. THE BUICK WAS TOTALLED. MY CAR WAS SEVERELY DAMAGED IN THE FRONT. THE AIRBAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. ACCORDING TO THE OWNERS MANUAL THEY SHOULD HAVE ACTIVATED AT A SPEED GREATER THAN 14 MPH. *AK |
| 1991 | OTHER | VAN HAS PAINT PRIMER FAILURE, AND THE PAINT JUST FLAKES OFF. I REALIZE THIS IS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE, BUT THOUGHT I WOULD REPORT IT ANYWAY. I HAVE HAD MY VAN TO TWO CAR PAINTING COMPANIES WHO HAVE CONFIRMED FOR ME THAT THE PAINT COMING OFF IS DUE TO PRIMER FAILURE. I HAVE WRITTEN THE MANUFACTURER, AND THEY HAVE ADVISED ME THAT THE CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY OF WHICH I AM WELL AWARE, HOWEVER, THE HOOD HAS A LARGE AREA WHERE THE PAINT HAS COME OFF, AND THE HATCH HAS A LARGE STRIP WHERE THE PAINT HAS COME OFF, AND IT IS COMING OFF IN SMALLER SPOTS ALL OVER THE VAN. I AM LEFT WITH THE OPTION OF PAYING FOR THE PAINT MYSELF WHICH IS APPROX. $2,000 SINCE THE ENTIRE VAN HAS TO BE STRIPPED, OR SELLING OR TRADING IT IN AT A LOSS DUE TO THE CURRENT PAINT CONDITION. I KNOW MY VAN, WHICH IS WHITE, IS NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS PAINT CONDITION AS I HAVE SEEN SEVERAL OTHERS AROUND TOWN WHOSE PAINT CONDITION IS THE SAME AS MINE, COMING OFF IN THE SAME PLACES AS MINE. I MAY HAVE WASTED MY TIME FILLING OUT THIS REPORT, BUT FEEL I HAVE NOTHING TO LOSE AT THIS POINT. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. NO SAFETY DEFECT LISTED. *AK |
