Complaint for Kia Sedona 2003

Complaint about AIR BAGS

Consumer Complaint:
DRIVING A 2003 KIA SEDONA APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH WHEN A CAR MADE A LEFT TURN RIGHT IN FRONT OF US. WE HIT THEM ALMOST HEAD ON, THEN WERE THROWN TO THE RIGHT, UP OVER A CURB AND CAME TO REST AGAINST A BRICK WALL. MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING, HE SUSTAINED CUTS TO HIS FOREHEAD WHEN HE STRUCK THE WINDSHIELD, AND YES, WE WERE BOTH PROPERLY BELTED IN. HE ALSO BROKE THE STEERING WHEEL, LEAVING BRUISES ON HIS CHEST. I WAS IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT AND SUSTAINED A FRACTURED RIGHT RADOIS AND A FRACTURED LEFT FEMUR, BOTH REQUIRED SURGERY TO PUT IN PLATES AND SCREWS. I SPENT A WEEK IN THE HOSPITAL;, ANOTHER WEEK IN A REHAB HOSPITAL BEFORE BEING ALLOWED TO RETURN HOME. I AM NOW IN A WHEELCHAIR FOR THE NEXT 3 MONTHS, WHILE UNDERGOING PHYSICAL THERAPY AND NEED DAILY ASSISTANCE TO GET BY.. NONE OF THE AIRBAGS ON MY 2003 KIA SEDONA DEPLOYED DURING THE ACCIDENT. THE OTHER VEHICLE, I BELIEVE IT MAY HAVE BEEN A TOYOTA, HAD ALL THEIR BAGS DEPLOY. THE FIREFIGHTERS ON THE SCENE WERE ASTOUNDED THAT NONE OF THE BAGS DEPLOYED. THE CAR WAS TOTALED BY OUR INSURANCE CARRIER, STATE FARM. *TR
