2 Front Air Bag problem of the 2009 Mitsubishi Lancer

Failure Date: 08/09/2009

My husband bought a Mitsubishi ralliart 2009 Lancer and was involved in an accident of which car rolled over. The car was totaled when we viewed the car at the towing location the driver airbags did not open only passenger airbag opened. The vehicle first hit a light pole and then rolled over, so I would think that the driver airbag would have opened. My husband has back injuries along with cuts and scrapes but good thing nothing major happened. My concern is to ensure that the vehicles are well prepared for any type of vehicle accident.

4 Front Air Bag problem of the 2002 Mitsubishi Lancer

I was traveling at 30-34 mph and a intrepid pulled out in front of me and I slammed head on to her driver's side front tire.

5 Front Air Bag problem of the 2002 Mitsubishi Lancer

Failure Date: 06/13/2004

I was driving down a street in my 2002 Mitsubishi Lancer and as I approached a green light I noticed that the driver of an Acura was not stopping for his red light. I slammed on the brakes but unfortunately I hit the passenger side of his car. The accedent caused my car to turn 90 degrees to the right. I got out of my vehicle after checking on my passenger and thats when I realized that the airbags in my vehicle didn't deploy. My passenger and I were both injured and are being treated for injuries. I am not very happy with the performance of my vehicle in that it failed to provide the protection that the airbags were designed to provide. If the airbags had deployed my passenger and I wouldn't have been thrown around like ragdolls in the vehicle. My car was totaled as a result of the accident.
