| Description of the problem | Hello in march 2007 while driving back from boston,ma i was 14 miles from home when a car came around a corner in my lane i looked to my right and there was a telephone pole, so i had to go in to his lane i thought i had it made but we clipped back bumpers so i had slam on the brakes and when i did the car seemed to go faster and now with recall i wonder if my brakes weren't working. Also none (zero) of the 6 air bags deployed and i thought that was odd and the seatbelt gave me all my injuries broken ribs,thumb and a burst fracture of my l2 vertabrae. The last injury was crushed lt foot from the tire and alloy she'll came through the fire wall the other factor was the dealership were i bought my car was trying to find another car for my car because it had so many problems i contacted soa talked many times to [xxx] and the most they would do was give me an extra $500. 00 if i bought a new subaru.
