Be very weary of Takata airbags.
In September 2013, I was hit by a driver doing 60-65 mph as I was entering an intersection from a stop light, making a left turn doing 2-3 mph. He hit me right in front of my left front wheel, tore off the front of my 2006 Ridgeline, bent the frame 18" to the right, destroyed the radiator and transmission coolers, tore the engine off its mounts shoving it into the firewall, buckled the roof and split the windshield. I had my seat belt on, but still hit the roof, A-pillar, driver’s window, B-pillar, and head rest. Two of the witnesses, both nurses, pulled me out of the truck as I was only semi-conscious. NONE OF THE TAKATA AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. And of course the driver told the police I ran the light, had a fake insurance card, and who knows if the name on his drivers license was even his. For a month after the accident my wife had to dress / undress me, followed by 3 1/2 months of physical therapy. In late 2014, I had reconstructive surgery on my left shoulder followed by months of physical therapy. The end of July 2018, my right shoulder joint failed, and in September I had a complete right shoulder joint replacement. I am still in physical therapy for this, and begin neck therapy for the damage created by the accident the end of this week.
Following the replacement of my right shoulder, I contacted the attorneys handling the Takata Class Action suit, and was informed that because I was not injured by shrapnel from the air bags, or killed, Takata has no liability. How lucky can one be.... but I am still alive!!!! MrBillGA
