NHTSA complaint: 2005 HONDA ELEMENT — AIR BAGS:FRONTAL
I ROLLED MY 2005 HONDA ELEMENT (2X DRIVE) ON I-95 AT LEAST FOUR TIMES ACCORDING TO FHP. MY FRONT AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY, ALTHOUGH MY WINDSHIELD WAS CRUSHED IN. AND MY DRIVERS' SIDE AIRBAG DEPLOYED ONLY PARTIALLY (1/4). I WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE VEHICLE AND LIFE-FLIGHTED TO SHAND'S EMERGENCY ROOM IN JACKSONVILLE, FLORIDA. I SUFFERED MULTIPLE CONTUSIONS; INTERNAL BLEEDING AND SEVERELY FRACTURED STERNUM. HAD MY DRIVERS SIDE AIRBAG DEPLOYED, I PROBABLY WOULD HAVE BEEN SPARED MUCH OF THIS TRAUMA. I HAVE THOROUGHLY DOCUMENTED WITH PICTURES TO SUPPORT MY CLAIM, AND MY INSURANCE ADJUSTER ALSO CONFIRMS THIS. I AM AWAITING THE FLORIDA HIGHWAY PATROL'S REPORT. *TR
