| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: i own a 2004 mazda 3s, vin #[xxx]. previously, in the end of december 2005 i was hot from behind in cambridge. ma. and incurred about 700 worth of damage. my care was repaired and i picked it up on friday january 6th, 2006. unfortunately, i was involved in a hit and run on friday january 13th, 2006. exactly a week from the day i picked up my car from the auto body shop. anyway, i was traveling at a speed of 50 miles per hour when hit from behind, which put me in a spin of about 6 360 degrees. then, i hit the concrete barrier with the front of my car and then bounced off and did another 5 360degree turns and then the back of my car hit the concrete barrier. unfortunately, none of my air bags were deployed, however, i did have my seat belt on and have a sore neck and head. i am feeling better, but am concerned with the fact that the air bags did not deploy in this situation. there was a recall with the front air bag sensor for my model, but apparently, my car was manufactured on 05-13-04. the manufacturing dates the recall affected were from 6-24-03 - 3-22-04. my insurance company is not being cooperative when it comes to the air bags. they are not sure if they should of deployed, but are saying that they may not have. the speed i was traveling at and the level of impact leads me to say with a high degree of confidence that the air bags, side and front should have deployed upon the impact. please help me, as i the manufacturer is extremely unwilling to help me or provide any specification or crash test results, etc. best regards, [xxx]; [xxx]. *nm updated 07/17/2012 *js information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6) |
