2001 Toyota Corolla

IN 2009 I WAS INVOLVED IN A MAJOR CAR ACCIDENT. I HIT MY HEAD AND BECAME UNCONSCIOUS AND MY AIRBAGS DEPLOYED WHEN I REGAINED CONSCIOUSNESS. I WAS ADMITTED TO THE HOSPITAL I HAD A GASH ON MY FOREHEAD. WHEN I TOUCHED MY LEFT EYEBROW IT FELT LIKE I HAD PIECES OF GLASS IN THERE. BUT NOW WITH THE RECALLS OF THE AIRBAGS, I WONDERED IF IT WAS METAL FRAGMENTS, SCHRAPRAL THAT IS STILL IN MY LEFT EYEBROW. WOULD YOU PLEASE RECALL MY VEHICLE SO I COULD HAVE MY AIRBAGS REPLACED. WHEN I REGAINED CONSCIOUSNESS I SAW DIRT AND OTHER STUFF POWDER COMING OUT OF MY DRIVERS AIRBAG. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS MATTER AND EMAIL ME BACK AT [XXX] THANK YOU. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

MY 20YO DAUGHTER WAS AT A STOP LIGHT COMPLETELY STOPPED. LIGHT TURNED GREEN, EVERYONE STARTED TO GO, SHE TOOK HER FOOT OFF THE BRAKE ROLLED INTO THE CAR IN FRONT OF HER, TAPPED THE CAR AND HER AIRBAGS WENT OFF, BROKE HER JAW, DISLOCATED HER JAW, BROKE 5 TEETH IN THE BACK, AND LACERATED HER LIP. LUCKILY NO ONE WAS IN THE PASSENGERS SIDE. SHE HAD HER SEATBELT ON, HER WINDSHIELD WAS SHATTERED BY THE AIRBAGS, NO DAMAGE TO ANY OTHER PART OF THE VEHICLE. SHE HAD TO HAVE SURGERY, AND HER JAW WIRED SHUT FOR 4-6 WEEKS NOW. SHE WILL HAVE TO HAVE ROOT CANALS AND CAPS PUT ON HER TEETH AFTER HER JAW HEALS. SHE DID GO UNCONSCIOUS AT IMPACT. LUCKILY SHE HAD BRACES BEFORE AND HAD A RETAINER BRACKET ON HER LOWER TEETH WHICH THE ORAL SURGEON SAID SAVED HER TEETH BELOW OR THEY WOULD HAVE ALL BEEN OUT. I WAS SO SHOCKED THAT JUST A TAP OF THE BUMPER IN FRONT COULD CAUSE THE AIRBAGS TO GO OFF AND CAUSE SO MUCH DAMAGE TO SOMEONE'S FACE. SHE IS A FULL TIME STUDENT AND HAS TWO PART TIME JOBS, SO SHE WILL BE OUT FOR A FEW WEEKS. *TR UPDATED 3/32/13 *CN
