Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: While driving in heavy rain, my 2002 camry xle hydroplaned on the interstate and first smashed head-first into a guardrail before being jolted back on to the highway where it was then hit broadside by an oncoming car. serious damage was done to both the front end, side and rear of the vehicle (from impact). the car is supposedly equipped with side curtain air bags as well as front airbags. none of them deployed. the car that hit my car, a 1995 suburu, had deployed both of its front seat air bags. how is this possible and why did it happen? *nm
