While driving on a clear day, no wet road, etc. , on Saturday September 4, 2004, my 1996 Infiniti I30 mysteriously went out of control, went into a slide, crossed a two lane highway, went down an enbankment, flipped over, and crashed top-first into a tree; driving the roof into the driver's seat. The airbags never did empoly. The investigating officer did not issue a citation since he could not determine the cause for the car going out of control. I was checked for sobriety, etc. And it was determined that I was not impaired. All tires were in excellent condition, there was not a tire blowout. The front was aligned about 6 months ago. The tires were recently rotated and balanced. The right front tire was replaced at that time because the tire had a slight indentation due to possibly hitting a side walk curve.
While driving about 40 mph vehicle was involved in a collision . Upon impact, the airbags did not deploy.
During impact at 20-25 mph, the driver's side air bag deployed, causing consumer to sustain burns to the face area. Consumer states that the violent deployment of the air bag has caused neck pain, consumer has to take medication and wear a brace, also may need laser surgery.
