The contact owns a 2011 Jaguar Xf. The contact stated that the air bag warning light intermittently illuminated. The contact took the vehicle to the dealer, who stated that according to vehicle specifications, the air bag would deactivate when a passenger under 100 lbs was occupying the seat. The contact was concerned because a frequent adult passenger, who was less than 100 lbs, would not be protected by the air bag in the event of a crash the manufacture was alerted of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 16,000.

We were driving North on I-75 and exited at highway M-24. As we turned rt., the left front tire lost air pressure (lt. Front car tire was recently changed and not sure proper sealant was used when installing new tire) and the car suddenly shot to the left and we went over an embankment into a ditch for approx. 20 feet then shot up and over an expressway entrance ramp into a steel barrier. The seat belts were on both of us and the airbags deployed. We both suffered severe blunt force body trauma and had to be taken by ems to the local hospital. Recovery has been slow as whip lash and back injuries just don't seem to want to heal. On another note, my right ear was damaged by the explosion from the air bag deployment and now I have high shrill ringing 24/7 and can't sleep. I have been to hearing specialists and they say it is tenitius (spelling) but there does not seem to be any solution. Does anyone in government have any solutions? this is driving me crazy.
