Consumer Description

I WAS INVOLVED IN 2 LOW IMPACT CRASHES WITH THIS KIA SPORTAGE 2005 MODEL. ONE WAS A REAR END COLLISION AT 20 MPH AND THE OTHER I WAS HIT FROM THE SIDE IN A PARKING LOT. BOTH TIMES THE OTHER DRIVER DROVE AWAY WITHOUT DAMAGE. I SUFFERED 3500 DOLLARS WORTH OF DAMAGE FROM THE FIRST INCIDENT AND 7500 FROM THE SECOND. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DRIVABLE BOTH TIMES. AIRBAGS NEVER DEPLOYED. I AM VERY CONCERNED AS ARE OTHER INDIVIDUALS WHO WITNESSED THE INCIDENTS THAT IF THE SPEED HAD BEEN ANY GREATER THE PERSONAL INJURY WOULD HAVE BEEN GREAT. I HAVE NEVER HAD A VEHICLE SUSTAIN SO MUCH DAMAGE FROM WHAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN FENDER BENDERS. *JB
