NHTSA Complaint #11081001 — 2009 KIA RONDO

MY SON & HIS FRIEND WERE HIT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE BY A YOUNG MAN WHO INTENTIONALLY RAN A RED LIGHT. HE HID MY SON SO HARD THAT OUR 2009 KIA RONDO FLIPPED 3 TIMES AND NOT ONE OF THE DRIVER SIDE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. THEY DID DEPLOY ON THE PASSENGER SIDE ONLY. THE CAR HAS SINCE BEEN DESTROYED BY THE INSURANCE COMPANY, HOWEVER I STILL HAVE PICTURES. I THINK THIS SHOULD BE CHECKED IN OTHER RONDOS SO NO ONE ELSE HAS TO ENDURE WHAT MY SON WHO WAS DRIVING DID. AS YOU CAN SEE FROM THE PICTURE THAT ALTHOUGH THE PASSENGER AIR BAGS DEPLOYED, THE STEERING WHEEL IN IN TACT AND NONE OF THE DRIVER SIDE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. SEEMS IMPOSSIBLE SINCE THE CAR FLIPPED OVER 3 TIMES. HE WAS DRIVING ON A CITY STREET.
