| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: While driving on a 2-lane highway travelling at approximately 65 mph, an antelope ran out in front of us. my husband tried to avoid hitting the animal and lost control of the vehicle. we ended up airborn and drove off a 30 foot embankment. the car landed nose first on the ground. the airbags did not deploy. thankfully, everyone escaped with only minor injuries. the car has been totaled, this all after only owning the vehicle two weeks. i feel that the airbags should have gone off. they are designed for low impact in frontal crashes. if hitting solid ground nose first at 65 mph isn't low impact, i would hate to see what is! *ak |
