## Narrative
As I was stopped on [XXX]  waiting to turn left onto [XXX] , another vehicle struck mine from the rear, at approximately 50mph.  The seat belt did not immediately lock, compromising my safety. I slid upward, partially out of the seat belt striking my head on the headliner and the belt caused a large bruise on my upper left arm.  Additionally, the air bags did not deploy, but a spray of chemical came out onto me from the dash. The chemical sprayed onto the right side of my neck and collar bone, leaving a burning sensation. A week after this wreck, all the skin that was contacted by the spray, began peeling off, like a sunburn peel does.  After this wreck, a warning notice appeared on my dash screen, stating  AIRBAG FAILURE, in red lettering. There were no failure notices prior to this wreck.  It’s unknown if any inspection of these two failures was done by my insurance adjusters, the manufacturer, the police or a dealership. There has been no known reproduction of these failures I am aware of.  The vehicle is expected to be a total loss, but I am still waiting for that determination. The vehicle is still at the repair facility, Caliber Collision in Carbondale, IL, as of 7-1-2025. I have reported these failures to my insurance representative, the manufacturer, the repair facility and the dealership.  INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
