Description of the problem | While traveling about 35 mph, hit brakes but was unable to avoid frontal collision in kia spectra rented from alamo. The crash was head on. The kia's airbags did not deploy. I was wearing a seatbelt. Alamo has been completely unresponsive, so nothing further can be learned about the car. I have pictures taken at the scene with a cell phone camera clearly depicting the failure. |
