Consumer Description

I WAS INVOLVED IN A FRONT END (MOSTLY DRIVERS SIDE OF CAR) COLLISION WHERE A PERSON RAN A RED LIGHT. BOTH OF OUR VEHICLES WHERE GOING BETWEEN 40 TO 50 MPH. ON IMPACT OF MY CAR NO AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. MY HEAD HIT THE STEERING WHEEL AND SIDE WINDOW. AFTER HAVING IT TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I BOUGHT IT FOR REPAIRS I MENTIONED THIS TO THE MECHANICS. I WAS TOLD THAT THE CAR HAD TO BE HIT IN CERTAIN SPOTS BEFORE THE AIRBAGS DEPLOY! SERIOUSLY? I DO NOT FEEL SAFE IN THIS CAR KNOWING THAT IF I AM INVOLVED IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT THE AIRBAGS MAY NOT BE THERE TO SAVE MY LIFE! AND TO THINK THAT IS ONE REASON WHY I PURCHASED THE CAR WAS THE FACT IT HAD HIGH SAFETY STANDARDS! ABSURD. *TR
