NHTSA complaint: 1999 HONDA ACCORD — ENGINE
MY VEHICLE WAS IN THE LEFT TURN LANE WAITING FOR THE LIGHT TO TURN GREEN. I WENT AND DIDNT REALIZE THE FAR RIGHT LANE WAS FOR PARKING ONLY ON A 1 WAY STREET LEFT HEADED EAST IT WAS A 1 WAY WITH 2 LANES MOVING FORWARD A 1 LANE NEXT TO THE CURB WHERE VEHICLES PARK IN FRONT OF THERE RESIDENTS. I SLAMMED INTO THE BACK OF THE PARKED WHITE CHEVY TRUCK. MY VEHICLE CAME TO A SUDDEN STOP FORCING MY BODY FORWARD TOWARDS THE WINDSHIELD. MY SEATBELT ONLY RESTRAINED MY BODY SO FAR SO I USED MY FOOT TO APPLY THE BRAKE. MY CARS PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG DID DEPLOY BUT THE DRIVERS SIDE DID NOT. MY VEHICLE NEEDED TO BE TOWED BECAUSE IT WAS NOT DRIVABLE. I THEN LATER HAD A FRIEND DRIVE ME TO THE EMERGENCY ROOM. I DIDNT WANT TO GO BY AMBULANCE DUE TO PANDEMIC IN PLACE. ABOUT 2 TO 3 WEEKS LATER I RECIEVED THE RECALL LETTER IN MY MAILBOX. SINCE THE ACCIDENT I HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO WORK OR EVEN DAILY FUNCTIONS. I HAVE A CRUSHED HEEL AND UNABLE TO WALK. SEVER PAIN AND SWELLING. MY LIFE HAS COMPLETELY CHANGED.
