Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: My sixteen year old son along with my seven year old son were driving my car when car started wobbling, he lost control going approximately 60 miles an hour, over corrected and went head first into trees and the air bag did not deploy. fortunately my sons were wearing seatbelts and did not sustain any major injuries, just bumps and bruises. the car then hit on the drivers side after the frontal impact then hit on the rear. my car was totaled. at no time did the air bag on the drivers side deploy. if not for the seat belts, my children could have been seriously injured and my son driving did hit the steering wheel, and the air bag would have prevented this had it deployed. i would say this was definitely a defect with the car. *ak
