THE 2010 LEXUS E35 I WAS A PASSENGER IN WAS REAR ENDED IN A MULTI-CAR ACCIDENT ON JUNE 11, 2011, ON INTERSTATE HIGHWAY 80 IN ROXBURY TOWNSHIP, NEW JERSEY. THERE WERE THREE CARS INVOLVED IN THIS COLLISION AND THE LEXUS I WAS RIDING IN WAS THE ONLY CAR WHOSE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. AS RESULT I SUSTAINED A SEVERE CASE OF WHIPLASH INVOLVING MY RIGHT SHOULDER AND ARM FROM WHICH I CONTINUE TO SUFFER ALMOST CONSTANTLY DAILY DISCOMFORT THREE YEARS LATER. THIS INJURY WOULD HAVE BEEN COMPLETELY AVOIDED HAD THESE TAKATA AIRBAGS DEPLOYED AS THEY WERE INTENDED TO DO AS RESULT OF DIRECT IMPACT BY ANOTHER VEHICLE. I URGE THE NATIONAL TRANSPORTATION SAFETY BOARD TO COMMENCE A ROBUST AND VIGOROUS CRIMINAL INQUIRY INTO THESE FAILED TAKATA AIRBAGS THAT LEXUS INSTALLED ON THEIR VEHICLES DURING 2010. *TR

REAR WINDOW DISTORTS OTHER CAR HEADLIGHT AT NIGHT AND IS VERY DISTRACTING, ESPECIALLY IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. IT APPEARS THAT THE SLANT OF THE WINDOW AND THE DEFROSTING WIRES ARE SET TO CLOSE AND THIS IS WHAT CAUSES THIS PROBLEM. LATER MODELS, THIS IS CORRECTED BY FEWER WIRES WITH MORE SEPARATION. *TR

LOCATION: 605 NORTH, BEFORE DEL AMO BLVD. EXIT. AT 5 PM ON SEPTEMBER 22, 2011 I WAS IN THE EXTREME LEFT LANE OF THE FREEWAY, NEXT TO THE CARPOOL LANE. A LIGHT GRAY TRUCK (WITH FLATBED) SWERVED RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME AT A VERY HIGH SPEED. THERE WERE JUST A COUPLE FEET OF DISTANCE BETWEEN THE TRUCK AND MY CAR. I SLAMMED MY BRAKES TO AVOID REAR-ENDING THE TRUCK. A CAR BEHIND ME HIT MY CAR FROM REAR RIGHT FORCING ME INTO THE CAR POOL LANE. THAT'S WHEN A VAN THAT WAS IN THE CAR POOL HIT MY CAR FIRST ON THE REAR LEFT DOOR AND THEN RUBBING AGAINST MY CAR AND DELIVERING A HUGE IMPACT ON THE DRIVER SIDE WINDOW. THE IMPACT WAS HEAD-ON AND IT DID THE FOLLOWING: 1. THE DRIVER-SIDE WINDOW WAS SMASHED COMPLETELY. THE FLYING BROKEN PIECES OF GLASS FLEW AND DELIVERED SEVERAL INJURIES INCLUDING BLEEDING ON MY LEFT ELBOW, LEFT HAND NEAR THE WEDDING RING FINGER, ON MY HEAD AND ON MY RIGHT HAND. 2. MY CAR WAS THROWN OUT OF CONTROL ACROSS ALL THE RIGHT LANES OF THE FREEWAY. LUCKILY ALL OTHER CARS IN THE ADJACENT LANES HAD STOPPED BY THEN AND NO OTHER CAR HIT MY CAR WHEN IT WAS BEING THROWN OVER TO THE RIGHT MOST LANES OF THE FREEWAY. WHEN MY CAR ULTIMATELY STOPPED, IT WAS HALF WAY IN THE 3RD AND 4TH LANES AND WAS FACING EAST WARDS AND WAS PERPENDICULAR TO THE FLOW OF TRAFFIC DIRECTION. NONE OF THE AIR BAGS ACTIVATED. THE CAR IS EQUIPPED WITH SIDE AIR BAGS AND CURTAIN AIR BAGS. NONE OF THEM DEPLOYED. I SUSTAINED INJURIES ON BOTH HANDS AND FACE. ALSO, I RECEIVED INTERNAL INJURIES IN NECK AND SHOULDER AREA. *TR
