I hadn&#8217;t seen this          neighbor in quite a few years. When you live rural a neighbor is miles          away.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">During our conversation he related the story about an          accident he was in recently. He kept an old white 2 wheel drive pickup          truck around for running errands and driving between farms. He was on          his way back home one day in no particular hurry when two girls pulled          up to a stop sign at an intersection he was approaching. They sat there          a bit and just as he got to the intersection they pulled out, causing          him to strike them in the front post of the driver&#8217;s side.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">It matters not why the girls pulled out. Perhaps the          stop sign blocked their view? Perhaps they had been talking and didn&#8217;t          take a fresh look. The bottom line is it was a bad wreck with          significant injuries but no fatalities.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Most of his injuries were caused by impacting the          steering wheel. You see, the airbag did not deploy.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">I know, my and most other people&#8217;s first thought would          be his truck had a <a target=\"_blank\" title=\"Takata airbag\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nhtsa.gov\/recall-spotlight\/takata-air-bags\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Takata            airbag<\/a>. It turns out the brand wouldn&#8217;t matter in this situation.          The truck he was driving was more than 10 years old.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Took a while for me to wrap my head around that one as          well.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Once he got out of the hospital some weeks later he          talked to a lawyer about the airbag not deploying. I do not know if it          was a lawyer for his insurance company or just one he found. I do know          we were both shocked at what the lawyer told him. According to some law          or regulation, airbag liability only lasts for 10 years. I do not know          if this time limit is set state by state or if there is a Federal          standard. I do believe there are very few things injury lawyers won&#8217;t          pursue given all of the late night television commercials, so&#8230;<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">When you consider that, according to <a target=\"_blank\" title=\"this 2015 USA Today article\" href=\"https:\/\/www.usatoday.com\/story\/money\/2015\/07\/29\/new-car-sales-soaring-but-cars-getting-older-too\/30821191\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">this            2015 USA Today article<\/a>, the average age of a vehicle on our roads          is 11.5 years. Think about that. The product reliability\/safety rules do          not extend to cover the actual service life of vehicles. It&#8217;s even more          shocking to think that for every brand new vehicle rolling off a dealer          showroom there has to be another 23 year old vehicle commuting the          highways and byways of this great nation. This means more than half of          the vehicles on the road have airbags which may no longer deploy.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">I do not know of any test or meter one can use to          ensure your airbag would deploy in an accident. You can use a gauge to          check your tire pressure. Pull a dipstick to check engine oil or          transmission fluid, but nothing you can do to verify your airbag will          actually deploy short of getting into an accident and then it is a bit          late.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">This information was a quite shocking to me since all          of my vehicles are outside of that 10 year liability window. I have no          plans to get rid of them. I plan to actually get the full 300,000 mile          lifespan out of them. Seeing as they are just past or approaching the          half way mark, I have quite a few years to go.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">I&#8217;m not the only one asking about such things. Both <a target=\"_blank\" title=\"autoblog\" href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/2013\/07\/30\/should-car-owners-replace-airbags-in-older-cars\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">autoblog<\/a>          and the <a target=\"_blank\" title=\"Wall Street Journal\" href=\"https:\/\/www.wsj.com\/articles\/SB10001424052748704694004576019593312698266\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Wall            Street Journal<\/a> have ran articles on it over the years. In the          early 1980s when most vehicles sold in America were rust buckets in          waiting which could barely make it to 100,000 miles there wasn&#8217;t much of          an issue. Now we have many models put out by different manufacturers          widely known to have 300,000 mile drive trains, this is a serious issue.        <\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\"><a target=\"_blank\" title=\"This chart\" href=\"https:\/\/www.fhwa.dot.gov\/ohim\/onh00\/bar8.htm\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">This            chart<\/a> shows the average miles per driver by age group according to          the Federal Highway Administration. I can remember when dealerships only          allowed about 6,000 miles per year for a trade in. If it had more than          that it was considered &#8220;high miles&#8221; and thus worth less. If that number          were a reality today it would take you 50 years to hit 300,000 miles. If          it could last that long you would own one car your entire life. <\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Current suggestions I see posted on-line say the number          is now up to 12,000 miles per year which means your car has to last 25          years to hit 300,000. For more than a few of today&#8217;s cars, 25 years is a          reality, provided you keep it clean (especially in winter), perform all          routine maintenance (oil changes, brakes, belts, hoses, etc.) and most          importantly, part it inside. Sun and weather related damage can age a          vehicle&#8217;s body really fast.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">We are quickly approaching at time where Federal          regulations will need to be put in place defining &#8220;life of a vehicle&#8221;          and airbag life in terms easily understandable by all citizens and more          importantly located in an easily accessible place. I did all kinds of          Web searches looking for the liability limit of an airbag. I found lots          of articles stating newer airbags should last &#8220;the life of the vehicle&#8221;          but I didn&#8217;t find any which spelled out at what point the manufacturer          was able to wash their hands of all liability. If the lawyer knew it          then it has to be somewhere, it just wasn&#8217;t somewhere I found.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Yes, I and many others grew up driving vehicles without          airbags. When I was a kid few people had or wore seat belts. The          difference now is the safety designed into vehicles is designed assuming          the airbag will actually do its job.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A neighbor stopped by the other day since he saw my brother and I tugging the lawn mower out of the mud.
