| Description of the problem | While traveling in one direction, an oncoming vehicle attempted to u-turn in an intersection with no traffic lights or stop signs. They hit my car in the front driver's side, causing enough damage for the vehicle to be towed away and totaled. In this crash the airbags did not deploy. There was no previous indication that the airbags were faulty, no recall, and the vehicle was brand new at time of purchase 7 months prior to the incident. Luckily, i was not injured although my hand did hit the steering wheel or window (or something in that vicinity), it was too quick to really realize what specifically i hit. |
