Sep 21, 2022AirbagsCrash1 injury
As I was traveling eastbound going 55MPH, a car pulled out in front of me from a parking lot and hit my car in the front passenger side. The impact caused my car to go over both eastbound lanes, the median, both westbound lanes, down a hill, and headfirst into a fence. All passenger side airbags deployed, but my driver airbag did not. The impact from the collision should have caused my airbag to go off, and then head first into the fence should have been a second reason for it to deploy. The airbag not going off could have avoided a concussion and severe neck and back trauma. There is an airbag recall on the year, make, and model of my car but my VIN does not show up as an impacted vehicle. This is being looked into currently by the vehicle manufacturer.

Upon entering a parking lot yesterday and heading down a small ramp my 2016 Lexus NX 200 spontaneously accelerated and even with my foot on the brake did not stop. I was unable to control my car and ending up hitting a tree. All of the airbags deployed; the windshield cracked; the body of the car was severely damaged and I suffered injuries. The car was brought to a body shop and is available for inspection. Fortunately, no other cars were in the parking lot and no one else was hurt. The car will be inspected over the next few days. There weren't any warning signs. I cannot say for sure what mechanical failure occurred to cause the accident, but there was clearly a mechanical failure as the acceleration was beyond my control.

I ENTER THE VEHICLE, APPLY MY FOOT TO THE BRAKE TO START THE VEHICLE, ENGAGING THE REAR END LIGHTS. I KEEP MY FOOT APPLIED TO THE BRAKES, NOT SHIFTING THE CAR OUT OF PARK, WHILE I RESEARCHED DIRECTIONS TO MY DESTINATION. MY VEHICLE REMAINED STATIONARY I REALIZED I HAD FORGOTTEN SOMETHING, SO DISENGAGE THE BREAKS AND SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF. I BEGIN TO EXIT AND AS MY SECOND LEG IS HALF WAY OUT, THE VEHICLE BEGINS TO ROLL BACKWARDS. I WAS ALMOST PINNED BY A STREET SIGN, AND AFTER AN UNSUCCESSFUL ATTEMPT TO GET IN AND GAIN CONTROL, MY NEIGHBOR HOLLERED FOR ME TO LET IT GO, AS THE BACK END OF THE VEHICLE FORCED ME TO BE PUSHED TO THE GROUND. IT PROCEEDS DOWN THE HILL MAKING CONTACT W FOUR VEHICLES.
