Description of the problem | I was traveling in the slow lane of route 2, when another car crashed into the side of me. Car hit directly in drivers door. The side of the car was damaged badly, to the point where the doors were not able to be opened. I had to be removed out of the passenger side of vehicle. I was transported to the hospital with bruises and pain to the left side of my body. I bought this vehicle because of the safety systems. None of the air bags deployed in the car. The side impact bags did not deploy. I hit my head hard on the driver door. Why would these safety systems not work? |
