NHTSA complaint: 2006 MAZDA MAZDA6 — AIR BAGS:SIDE/WINDOW
I WAS DRIVING ON NORTHBOUND 71 NEAR LOUISVILLE, KY WHEN A VEHICLE ENTERED THE FREEWAY AND CUT ME OFF. I AVOIDED A COLLISION WITH HIM BUT THE VEHICLE BEHIND ME HIT ME MULTIPLE TIMES IN MULTIPLE LOCATIONS, SPINNING ME ACROSS THE FREEWAY. ONE WAS A SIDE IMPACT HIT WHICH FORCED MY HEAD INTO THE DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW, BREAKING IT. I HAD SIX AIRBAGS IN MY 2006 MAZDA 6 AND NONE OF THEM DEPLOYED. THE RATES OF SPEED BEING TRAVELED WERE AT APPROXIMATELY 55 MILES PER HOUR. I WAS HARMED BUT NOT ENOUGH TO WARRANT A LAWSUIT ACCORDING TO LAWYERS, YET MY EQUIPMENT FAILED TO PROTECT ME IN MY VEHICLE. MY VEHICLE IS NOW TOTALED AS WELL. *TR
