Consumer Description

MY 2012 PRIUS WAS HIT IN BACK ON PASSENGER SIDE AT APPROXIMATELY 80-85 MILES/HOUR WHILE MY SPEED WAS 62 M/H. WITH IMPACT FROM HIT IN THE BACK, MY CAR WENT FLYING HEAD ON INTO THE MEDIAN WALL (THOSE TEMPORARY CEMENT WALLS USED DURING RECONSTRUCTION). TWO THINGS HAPPENED WERE: 1. AFTER THE FIRST IMPACT MY PRIUS HAD TOTAL POWER LOSS, NOT EVEN EMERGENCY FLASHER LIGHT WOULD TURN ON; 2. NON OF AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. I AM WONDERING IF ALL THIS IS NORMAL FOR THIS CAR OR THERE IS SOME SORT OF MALFUNCTION OR MANUFACTURING DEFECT? *TR
