NHTSA complaint: 1998 HONDA CIVIC — AIR BAGS
MY CAR IS TOTALED BY ANOTHER DRIVERS NEGLIGENCE; I WAS TOLD BY A LAWYER THAT BECAUSE MY SON AND I WERE NOT KILLED IN THE ACCIDENT WE COULD NOT FILE A CLAIM AGAINST THE MANUFACTOR FOR THE AIRBAGS NOT DEPLOYING EVEN THOUGH IT WAS A HEAD ON COLLLISON. I CALLED THE MANUFACTOR AND ALL THE LADY TOLD ME WAS THAT SHE WOULD SEND ME A "BROCHURE" ON HOW THE AIRBAGS WORKED. I KNOW MY SON AND I WERE EXTREMELY LUCKY IN THIS ACCIDENT, HOWEVER I STILL THINK SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH THE ATTITUDE I HAVE RECEIVED. I STILL HAVE TO LIVE WITH THE PAIN OF HEARING MY SONS VOICE SCREAM IN TERROR OVER AND OVER AGAIN IN MY HEAD AND I THINK ITS ONE OF THE WORST THINGS A MOTHER HAS TO GO THROUGH WITH HER CHILD.
