THE 2010 LEXUS E35 I WAS A PASSENGER IN WAS REAR ENDED IN A MULTI-CAR ACCIDENT ON JUNE 11, 2011, ON INTERSTATE HIGHWAY 80 IN ROXBURY TOWNSHIP, NEW JERSEY. THERE WERE THREE CARS INVOLVED IN THIS COLLISION AND THE LEXUS I WAS RIDING IN WAS THE ONLY CAR WHOSE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. AS RESULT I SUSTAINED A SEVERE CASE OF WHIPLASH INVOLVING MY RIGHT SHOULDER AND ARM FROM WHICH I CONTINUE TO SUFFER ALMOST CONSTANTLY DAILY DISCOMFORT THREE YEARS LATER. THIS INJURY WOULD HAVE BEEN COMPLETELY AVOIDED HAD THESE TAKATA AIRBAGS DEPLOYED AS THEY WERE INTENDED TO DO AS RESULT OF DIRECT IMPACT BY ANOTHER VEHICLE. I URGE THE NATIONAL TRANSPORTATION SAFETY BOARD TO COMMENCE A ROBUST AND VIGOROUS CRIMINAL INQUIRY INTO THESE FAILED TAKATA AIRBAGS THAT LEXUS INSTALLED ON THEIR VEHICLES DURING 2010. *TR
