Isuzu Rodeo Air Bags Frontal Safety Report | July 20, 2006
Reported on July 20, 2006
| I WAS IN AN ACCIDENT ON JULY 20,2006. A GIRL RAN A RED LIGHT AND I HIT HER IN THE PASSENGER SIDE OF HER CAR HEAD ON WITH MY 2000 ISUZU RODEO. IT WAS A FULL FRONTAL COLLISION FOR ME AND MY CHILDREN. LUCKILY , WE ARE ALWAYS BUCKLED UP BECAUSE NONE OF MY AIRBAGS DEPLOYED AT ALL. THE OTHER CAR WAS GOING ABOUT 60 MPH AND HER AIRBAG DEPLOYED WHEN I HIT HER BUT MINE DID NOT. LUCKILY, MY CHILDREN WERE NOT HURT BADLY BUT UNFORTUNATELY, I SUSTAINED NECK, BACK AND KNEE INJURIES. I WAS AND STILL AM VERY UPSET THAT MY AIRBAGS FAILED. EVEN THE OWNER OF THE BODY SHOP I USE WAS IN SHOCK THAT THEY DID NOT DEPLOY AS THE IMPACT WAS ENOUGH TO SPLIT THE FRAME OF MY RODEO AND TOTAL IT OUT. I WILL NOT BUY ANOTHER ISUZU AND I WILL ALSO NOT RECOMMEND THEM TO MY FAMILY OR FRIENDS IN THE FUTURE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME, I HOPE I CAN HELP ANOTHER FAMILY FROM GETTING INJURED. | |
