"TAKATA RECALL" I BELIEVE MY SON DIED IN A CRASH CAUSED BY A FAULTY TAKATA AIRBAG. MY SON HIT A TREE WHILE SEAT BELTED IN AND HAD NO BODILY INJURIES EXCEPT FOR A SCRATCH ON HIS LEG. I BELIEVE THAT THE SIDE AIR DEPLOYED SENDING A SHARP METAL OBJECT UNDER HIS LEFT ARM SEVERING HIS ARTERY, WHICH CAUSED HIM TO BLEED OUT AND DIED.

ANOTHER VEHICLE THAT WAS DRIVING SOUTH PROCEEDED THROUGH THE RED LIGHT, AT ABOUT 45 MPH, AND HIT THE 2014 JEEP PATRIOT BROADSIDE, PASSENGER SIDE. THE JEEP WAS PUSHED AND SPUN 90 DEGREES FROM THE IMPACT OF THE COLLISION, WE WERE TOSSED AROUND VIOLENTLY IN OUR SEATS, WITH THE PASSENGER OBTAINING CONTUSIONS AND ABRASIONS TO HER ARM CLOSEST TO THE IMPACT SITE.

AND FINALLY, HAD STRAINED THE MUSCLES IN HER LOWER BACK FROM GETTING THRUST AT THE DIRECTION OF THE IMPACT SITE. THE DRIVER HAD SUFFERED AN IMPACT ABRASION TO HIS LEFT ARM, LEAVING AN IMPRINT OF THE SEAT BELT MATERIAL INTO HIS SKIN.
