CONSUMER WAS INVOLVED IN 35 MPH FRONTAL COLLISION IN WHICH DRIVER'S/PASSENGER'S AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. PLEASE GIVE ANY FURTHER DETAILS. *AK

VEHICLE WAS PARKED FACING UPHILL IN THE DRIVEWAY,THE PARKING BRAKE WAS APPLIED AND THE MANUAL TRANSMIISON WAS IN NEUTRAL. THE CAR WAS PARKED AND LOCKED AT APPROXIMATELY 3:30 PM. AT APPROXIMATELY 7:10 PM THE CAR ROLLED BACKWARDS DOWN THE DRIVE AND ACROSS THE STATE HIGHWAY AND STOPPED AGAINST THE GUARDRAIL, BLOCKING TRAFFIC. MY SON HEARD A COMMOTION AND NOTICING THE CAR, WENT TO MOVE IT OFF OF THE HIGHWAY. HE RETURNED TO THE HOUSE, GOT THE CAR KEY AND PROCEEDED TO DRIVE THE CAR BACK TO THE DRIVEWAY. HE NOTICED THAT THE PARKING BRAKE WAS NOT APPLIED AT THAT TIME. HE VERY RARELY DRIVES THIS CAR AND WOULD NOTICE THAT THE BRAKE WAS NOT ON. *AK

THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKES FAILED RESULTING IN VEHICLE COLLISION, NO DEPLOYMENT OF BOTH DRIVER'S AND PASSENGER AIR BAG, RESULTING IN INJURIES. *YC

WHILE AT A STOP A VEHICLE HIT THE METRO IN THE REAR AND THE METRO WENT FORWARD HITTING ANOTHER VEHICLE AT A FRONTAL IMPACT, BUT THE DRIVER'S AND PASSENGER'S AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY, WHICH DID NOT PROTECT THE OCCUPANT IN THIS ACCIDENT. ALSO, DURING THE ACCIDENT THE DRIVER'S SEATBACK BROKE, CAUSING THE OCCUPANT TO FLY BACKWARD AND MAY HAVE CAUSED INJURIES. *AK

WHILE DRIVING STRAIGHT FORWARD,AT 70 MPH, ON THE FREEWAY, THE VEHICLE PULLED HARD TO THE RIGHT. I COUNTER STEERED AND THE VEHICLE WENT TO THE LEFT, SO I COUNTER STEERED AGAIN. THEN, THE VEHICLE WENT INTO A SPIN AND ENDED UP ON THE CENTER DIVIDER. WHEN I CHECKED THE VEHICLE AFTERWARDS, THE RIGHT REAR TIRE, RIM, BRAKE DRUM AND BEARING WERE GONE. THEY WERE NOT NEAR THE VEHICLE AT ALL AND THE SPINDLE WAS CLEANLY BROKEN IN HALF.

ON 3/25/99 AT 8:50 A.M. I WAS DRIVING TO WORK WHEN I SMELLED A HOT SMELL, STOPPED AT A STOPLIGHT, LOOKED AROUND TO DETERMINE CAUSE OF THE HOT SMELL, AND HAD THE DRIVER SIDE BAG DEPLOY IN MY FACE. A GAS STATION ATTENDANT RAN OUT INTO THE STREET AND HELPED ME OUT OF THE CAR. AFTER I WAS OUT OF THE CAR, THE PASSENGER SIDE BAG DEPLOYED. MULTIPLE SPRAINS AND ABRASIONS TO MYSELF. *AK

I HAVE BEEN CALLING ALL OVER THE PLACE TO TRY AND GET HELP FOR MY AIRBAGS TO GET REPLACED. SO FAR I HAVE NOT GOTTEN ANYWHERE. THE VEHICLE RUNS FINE, I WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WAS A PREVIOUS RECALL ON THE AIRBAG SENSORS. NOBODY WAS REALLY INJURED, BUT IT ALMOST CAUSED ME TO LOSE CONTROL OF THE CAR, ENDANGERING THE LIFE OF MY PASSENGER AND MYSELF. ALSO, WHEN THE AIRBAGS BLEW, I GOT BURNS ON MY HAND AND MY FACE AND SPRAINED MY RIGHT HAND. DUE TO THIS INCIDENT, I AM ALSO HAVING NIGHTMARES ABOUT THE AIRBAG EXPLODING IN MY FACE, AND AM VERY EDGY ABOUT BEING IN VEHICLES. IF YOU COULD SEND ME IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION AS TO WHAT TO DO, I WOULD BE VERY GRACIOUS SEEMING THAT NOBODY ELSE HAS BEEN ABLE TO. *AK
