| Description of the problem | I've had subarus my whole life and am a loyal consumer. Recently i was involved in an accident. My car was hit in the front on the passenger side. I'm including a photo to show you the damage to my 2017 impreza. It was totaled and thankfully, i was not hurt. The airbags did not deploy. In light of the recent information that was released by the nhtsa concerning airbags not deploying, i feel i need to bring this to your attention. I will be sending the same information to the nhtsa. I realize in certain instances airbags do not deploy and perhaps this is one of those times. However i would feel irresponsible if i did not bring this to your attention. The claim was handled and the vin number is . [xxx]. (this email was sent to subaru). Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6). |
