"takata recall" I was driving a 2003 Pt Cruiser when my wife and I were hit head on by a truck that went left of center when a van turned left in front of him. We were hit again on the drivers side and the airbag deployed and the steering column fell on my left leg. My granddaughter stopped at the scene because she was driving past and saw us. She saw I was bleeding from my head and put pressure on it as soon as she could. Upon being taken to the hospital I had both of my ears nearly severed off. It was determined that the shrapnel from the air bags had cut both my ears and severed them. Also it has been two years and I am still getting material out of my head from them. I have big sore spots where the material has risen and came out of my head. I also got mersa in my leg and my wife got 4 broken back ribs. They also determined I received a concussion. The vehicle was in motion but going about 25 as I was slowing down as the van in front of us was turning. We do have photos and medical records as we had a lawyer who sued the driver who turned in front of us and we can get pictures and records if you would like. I do not have them on my computer.
