Consumer Description

MY DAUGHTER WAS IN A FENDER BENDER. SHE WAS BEHIND SOMEONE AT AN INTERSECTION. THEY WERE BOTH TURNING RIGHT. THE PERSON BEFORE HER PROCEEDED THROUGH THE INTERSECTION. MY DAUGHTER LOOKED TO HER LEFT FOR VEHICLES AND STARTED THROUGH THE INTERSECTION. THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF HER STOPPED AND SHE REAR ENDED IT. THERE WAS NO DAMAGE DONE TO THE OTHER VEHICLE AND HER FOCUS HAS A SMALL DENT IN THE FRONT FENDER. THE DAMAGE CAME FROM THE FACT THAT THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED AND BLEW OUT THE WINDSHIELD. IF MY DAUGHTER HAD NOT BEEN WEARING GLASSES, SHE MAY HAVE RECEIVED AN EYE INJURY FROM THE SHATTERED GLASS. THE DEALER CLAIMS THAT THE AIRBAGS SHOULD DEPLOY AT THAT LOW OF A SPEED AND IT IS EXPECTED TO BLOW OUT THE WINDSHIELD.*AK
