TAKATA RECALL. MY WIFE WAS SIDESWIPED BY A HIT AND RUN DRIVER AND RAN OFF THE ROAD ONTO A ROUGH VACANT FIELD. AIRBAG FAILED TO DEPLOY AND SHE HIT HER HEAD ON THE STEERING WHEEL AND SUFFERED A SKULL FRACTURE. TWO WEEKS AFTER THE ACCIDENT SHE STARTED HAVING MEMORY PROBLEMS AND HAS SUFFERED 5 STROKES AND A CT SCAN SHOWS BRAIN DAMAGE. THIS HAS GONE ON SINCE APRIL OF 2012 AND THE CAR WAS JUST A FEW MONTHS OLD WITH APPROXIMATELY 8,000 MILES ON THE CAR. IT DID ABOUT $ 8000.00 DOLLARS IN DAMAGE WHICH WAS NEVER REPAIRED RIGHT UNTIL ALFA INSURANCE COMPANY IN ALABAMA SENT US TO THE BEST BODY MAN AROUND AND HE REPLACED THE ENTIRE FRONT END OF THE OUTER PANELS AND ALL OF THE UNDERSIDE SUPPORTS AND MATCHED THE PAINT PERFECT. I EXPECT MY WIFE TO EITHER BE IN A NURSING HOME OR MORE STROKES MAY KILL HER. I DON'T HAVE THE ACCIDENT REPORT SINCE IT'S BEEN ALMOST 4 YEARS SINCE THE ACCIDENT. THE HYUNDAI ACCENT IS A DEATH TRAP IN MY OPINION AND SHOULD NOT BE ON OUR UNITED STATES ROADS AT ALL. THAT CAR WILL KILL YOU IN THE SLIGHTEST ACCIDENT AND MY WIFE IS TURNING INTO A VEGETABLE BEFORE MY EYES.THANK YOU, [XXX] . SHE DID HAVE A WITNESS THAT WAS INSTALLING CABLE TV LINES ON A POWER POLE SHE ALMOST HIT. WE DID FILE A LAWSUIT AGAINST AND THE ATTORNEY SETTLED FOR ABOUT $10,000.00 AND HE SOLD US OUT. SHE CAN'T HAVE NURSING CARE FOR THAT AMOUNT. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).' *TR
