Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING AROUND A CURVE IN THE ROAD A LITTLE TOO FAST AND THE CAR SLID ON LOOSE GRAVEL. IT SPUN AROUND ONCE AND HIT A TELEPHONE BOX, SPUN AROUND A SECOND TIME AND SLAMMED AGAINST THE INSIDE OF A DITCH. IT CAUSED ENOUGH DAMAGE THAT THE DRIVERS FRONT TIRE TURNED ALL THE WAY OUT AND MY KNEES KNOCKED OUT THE DASHBOARD. THE AIR BAG DIDN'T DEPLOY CAUSING ME TO HIT MY HEAD ON THE STEERING WHEEL. I HAVEN'T FELT OKAY SINCE THIS HAPPENED AND I DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS CAR. I WAS IN A WRECK IN A HONDA ACCORD BEFORE THAT WASN'T HALF THIS BAD AND THE AIR BAG SAVED ME FROM BEING INJURED. IT DEFINITELY SHOULD'VE DEPLOYED IN THIS INCIDENT! *TR
