Complaint Description: as i began to feel faint while driving a mountain highway, i started to pull off the road. i remember putting my foot on the brake and the next thing i knew i had hit a tree. i was able to get out of the driver's seat and out of the vehicle. the airbag did not fully inflate on the driver side position. there were no passengers in the vehicle. my arm had lacerations and cuts and the wind shield was cracked in several places. neither the airbag nor the seatbelt kept me from hitting the windshield. *ak .
