Faulty Airbag Leaves 76 y/o Woman Quadriplegic

Defective Takata Airbag Injures Woman in Honda Civic

A recent story from the Florida Times-Union of Jacksonville tells a heartbreaking story of a grandmother catastrophically injured by a faulty airbag. �In June of 2014, the victim drove her Honda Civic through�a red light and t-boned another vehicle. �The airbag in her car did not inflate upon impact. �Rather, the airbag exploded late and with so much force that it broke her back and left her unable to move at all.

Just four days after the accident, Honda recalled the Takata airbags used in her�Honda Civic. �Takata�s files show there at least 64 injuries caused by the defective airbags prior to this accident. �More shocking is the fact that the�National Highway Transportation Safety Association�fined Honda $70 million last month for not properly reporting deaths and injuries from defective airbags in 1,729 cases. �Just this past Friday,�Honda acknowledged another death from a defective Takata airbag on January 18th in Houston, Texas.

What else are the car manufacturers and their parts manufacturers such as Takata hiding? �Unfortunately, the defective parts recall process in America is broken. �It takes far too long for NHTSA to investigate claims and issue recalls. �Many times, deaths and catastrophic injuries have already occurred. �That is why we must hold the manufacturers accountable.
