Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: My husband was driving our 2001 madza 626 with about 59000 miles (can't be accurate because it is still in the shop). he hit a pick-up truck from behind while going approximally 40 miles per hour. a car in front of the truck stopped quickly when the light changed. when the truck stopped, he was not able to stop. the truck had a large iron round bumper guard. my husband head hit the steering wheel along with his body being throw forward. the airbags did not deploy. because of his head injury and back pain he had to be transported to hospital. he is still having headaches. because we only have the minum full coverage all of his hospital bills and cost of the transport is on us. we have not received all of the hospital bills, but the transport itself is over $900. he also was not able to go to work for three days. if the airbags had deployed he would not have hit his head and been thrown forward. the cost of the car repairs are $3,800. the date of this accident was october 20,2003. the airbags has not been looked into at the body shop and the car is almost ready. i feel this is a defect in the car. i am concerned that if another accident occurs, this will happen again with greater injuries or maybe death. |
