At the time of collision the airbags did not deploy correctly. The airbag seems to have burst at the seams and projectlies of debris and chemicals came from the air bag instead. I hit my head on the windshield and hit my chest on steering wheel. I was burned on my arms, hands and ribs/chest. I have pulmonary and neurological injury. as well as changes to my sight and hearing. My car filled with thick "smoke" that was hot and made us choke and gasp for air. We breathed in these chemicals. My two disabled children were also injured by the chemicals.

We were in a car accident and although we were hit in the front, the air bags did not deploy.
The sebring hit the car in front of it. Left front of sebring hitting the right rear bumper of car in front of it. Immediately stopping the sebring and then having it roll backwards into a ditch. Totally the sebring. No air bags deployed. Injuries sustained because of airbags not deploying. Weather outside was below zero.
Could not use my horn and airbag did not deploy during an accident. The airbag and horn do not work because the fuse had to be taken out the fuse runs these functions. The fuse was taken out because the horn does not function properly which also means the airbag has a fifty, fifty chance of working with the fuse in. Because no investigation has been done on this function everyone on the road is at risk. Safety is an issue and this needs to have a recall. Stop making americans pay for lemons!!!
Dt: the consumer stated she ran off the road and crashed into ditch. Upon impact, the air bags did not deploy. The contact sustained facial cuts and bruising, a fractured foot, and teeth came out. This was a rental vehicle. A police report was taken.*ak updated 01/04/06.
