On March 20, 2016, my right front tire went off of the shoulder of the pavement and I lost control of the vehicle. I slammed into a brick mailbox at a speed of 45 mph thus causing the airbag to deploy. I sustained an approximate 3 inch long gash on my forehead from the airbag.
My 84 year old father hit a deer on the right front bumper of his 2014 Chevy Silverado ltz going 55 mph on October 30, 2014. All of the air bags deployed except for the drivers air bag. The drivers air bag did not deploy. In addition to the drivers air bag not deploying, there was structural damage to the right front passenger side bumper. My father took his vehicle to james wood motors Decatur, 2111 S hwy 287, Decatur, tx 76234, to get an estimate on repairing the vehicle. They talked him into trading his 2014 Chevy Silverado ltz wrecked vehicle for a 2015 Chevy Silverado ltz. [xxx] told my father that they would be salvaging the vehicle, or something like that, and they encouraged him to trade in his wrecked vehicle because the trade in value would be affected by the crash. Keep in mind that my father had a long relationship with them with trading in vehicles for newer ones and they knew that my father was very concerned with the trade-in value of his vehicle. They never discussed with my father the fact that the drivers air bag did not deploy. Today, I ran a car fax check on my father's crashed vehicle and the report shows: No accidents reported, no structural damage reported, no air bag deployment reported. Also, the car fax report shows a new owner from grand prairie, Texas, that purchased the vehicle on 3-36-2015. I think it's outrageous that james wood motors Decatur took advantage of my father because of his age, encouraged him to trade in his wrecked vehicle and then they turned around and sold the vehicle to someone without reporting any of the damage to the vehicle and the fact that the drivers air bag did not deploy. Someone needs to look into this. Information redacted pursuant to the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).
