2002 Mitsubishi Lancer

MY HUSBAND WAS IN AN ACCIDENT AND OVER CORRECTED HIT AN EMBANKMENT AND A TREE AND THIS PUSHED HIM BACK INTO THE ROAD AND SPIN SHOOTING HIM INTO ANOTHER EMBANKMENT AND THIS RESULTED IN HIM BEING FORCED BACKWARDS AND INTO ANOTHER DITCH ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE ROAD HITTING A MAILBOX AND ANOTHER DITCH. THE AIRBAG NEVER DEPLOYED AND THE SEAT BROKE AS IF HE WAS LAYING DOWN TO SLEEP BUT IT WAS BROKE INTO THIS POSITION. HE HIT HIS FACE ON THE STEERING WHEEL AND INJURED HIS EYE SOME HOW AND THE HOSPITAL SAID THAT IT WAS DUE TO THE AIRBAG NOT DEPLOYING. WHY DID HIS SEAT GET THROWED BACK LIKE THAT AND BREAK PLEASE EXPLAIN. I COULD HAVE LOST MY HUSBAND..

I WAS IN MY 2002 MITSUBISHI LANCER AND WAS DRIVING ABOUT 35-40 MILES AN HOUR AND HIT A YUKON HEAD ON. MY CAR IS COMPLETELY CRUMPLED AND THE AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY. THIS IS THE SECOND MAJOR FRONT END ACCIDENT I HAVE HAD WITH THIS VEHICLE (THE PREVIOUS ONE IN 2002) AND BOTH TIMES, THE AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY. NOTHING WAS DONE BY MITSUBISHI EITHER TIME TO CORRECT THE SITUATION. I WAS FORTUNATE ENOUGH TO BE ABLE TO WALK AWAY FROM BOTH BUT I WORRY THAT OTHERS MAY NOT BE SO LUCKY IF THIS WERE TO HAPPEN TO THEM. *TR

1) I WAS DRIVING SOUTH DOWN THE ROAD AT 25-30 MPH, AND ANOTHER CAR WAS WAITING TO PULL OUT OF A PARKING LOT ON MY RIGHT, HE WAS GOING TO TURN LEFT (NORTH). - HE SAYS HE DIDN'T SEE ME AND PULLED OUT IN FRONT OF ME AND I T-BONED HIM. 2)HIS AIRBAGS DEPLOYED, BUT MINE DID NOT. THE ACCIDENT WAS SIGNIFICANT ENOUGH THAT THEY SHOULD HAVE DEPLOYED. 3) NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO CORRECT THE FAILURE, THE CAR IS GOING TO THE BODY SHOP TODAY. *TR

I WAS TRAVELING AT 30-34 MPH AND A INTREPID PULLED OUT IN FRONT OF ME AND I SLAMMED HEAD ON TO HER DRIVER'S SIDE FRONT TIRE. MY SEAT BELTS DIDN'T LOCK RESULTING IN ME HITTING MY CHEST ON THE STEERING WHEEL AND MY SON IN THE BACK SEAT TO HIT HIS HEAD ON THE BACK OF THE PASSENGER FRONT SEAT. MY AIRBAGS DIDN'T DEPLOY RESULTING IN MY PELVIC BONE TO SHIFT AND ME TO RECEIVE WHIPLASH AND A BULDGE IN MY LOWER BACK. THE IMPACT OF THE CRASH RESULTED IN MY CAR BEING TOTALED. *JB
