ON A LONG COMMUTE, I BEGAN HEARING A SCAPING SOUNDS AS I MANEUVERED THE STEERING WHEEL. AS TIME PASEED IT BECAME LOUDER AND I NOTICED A WIRE STICKING OUT BETWEEN THE STEERING WHEEL AND THE MOUNT. IT CONTINUED TO BECOME MORE AND MORE UNDONE.I ALSO NOTICED MY SRS LIGHT IS ON. THE LIGHT FOR THE ANTI SKID PROTECTION WAS SHOWING BOTH ON AND OFF, THEN EVENTUALLY WENT OUT COMPLETELY. FINALLY TOWARDS THE END OF MY DRIVE I WAS MAKING A RIGHT HAND TURN AND IT ACCELERATED FOR ONE SECOND ABSENT OF MY COMMAND TO DO SO.
THERE WAS A POLICE CHASE, THE CAR THAT WAS BEEN CHASED HIT ANOTHER CAR THE BOTH CARS HIT MY CAR, MY CAR WAS IS TOTAL. NON OF THE 8 AIR BAG DEPLOYED EVEN THOUGH THE IMPACT HARD BOTH FROM THE FRONT & SIDE. *TR
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 MITSUBISHI GALANT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE STOPPED, ANOTHER VEHICLE CRASHED INTO HIM FROM THE REAR. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY AND THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT BELT DID NOT RETAIN ITS PASSENGER. AS A RESULT, A PASSENGER SEATED IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT SUFFERED INJURIES AND SUSTAINED A CONCUSSION. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT REPAIR SHOP. THE FAILURE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED AND THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE.
