| Description of the problem | A car rear ended us on the freeway. We were going 70mph and they averaged 20mph faster. When the struck my rear end it propelled us, across 2 lanes, into the side of a tractor trailor. We bounced off the trailers wheels and ended up on the other side of the freeway. If it wasn't for the stability and sturdiness of the car we would surely be dead. I didn't think about it until later......... Not one airbag deployed!! The rear impact head rest engaged. I just figured hitting the entire right side of the car (with both of the trailer tires indenting in the passenger side) at minimum speed of 70mph, the side impact air bags should have deployed. Not really complaining. But maybe something to look into. The jeep was repaired and im still in love with it. I'm not uploading photos. If there are any questions, i have photos and all documentation, just email me. |
