| Description of the problem | I was involved in a car accident last sunday and my 2007 nissan altima was damaged irreversibly with the front of the car, including the engine, pushed inward and the frame of the car bent. The car was hit twice first by left side by a car coming at 50 miles per hour and on the right side when my car turned and hit the car on my right side. With this serious damage, the airbag did not deploy. I will like someone to investigate if it is because of flaw in the car. I cant imagine what would have happened if the accident was bigger and the airbag did not work... |
