Pontiac G6 Air Bags Frontal Safety Report | Dec 02, 2009
Reported on Dec 02, 2009
| I WAS INVOLVED IN A SINGLE CAR ACCIDENT ON 12/2/09. CAR HYDROPLANED ON WATER, SPUN SEVERAL TIMES, WENT AIRBORNE AT APPX. 45-50MPH AND FINALLY CAME TO A STOP IN A GROUP OF TREES - THE TREES BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO A HALT UPON IMPACT. THE AIRBAGS NEVER DEPLOYED!!! MY SEATBELT LEFT ME WITH A BURN ABRASION ON MY SKIN, BUT THE MAIN QUESTION BEING ASKED BY ME (THE OWNER), THE EMT'S AND FIRE DEPT PERSONNEL ON SCENE AND THE STATE TROOPER IS WHY DIDN'T THE AIRBAGS DEPLOY?? I THINK THIS SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED! THE CAR IS CURRENTLY SITTING WITH A WRECKER SERVICE UNTIL MY INSURANCE COMPANY CAN GO LOOK AT IT AND MAKE AN EVALUATION. BUT I BELIEVE THAT IF THE AIRBAGS HAD DEPLOYED, I MAY NOT BE HAVING SOME OF MY BACK PROBLEMS THAT I AM NOW EXPERIENCING AS A RESULT OF THIS ACCIDENT. CAN YOU EXPLAIN WHY THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY? THE MAIN IMPACT WITH THE TREES WAS THE ENTIRE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE AND SPECIFICALLY THE FRONT RIGHT. *TR | |
