problem #2

Q5

  • 44,297 miles
Hit a stationary Honda CRV on black ice at approx 45-50 mph. Impact was straight on front of our car and rear of the CRV. Our both vehicles were totaled, none of our air bags deployed. Our vehicle was then hit from the rear by a Jeep Wrangler at about the same speed. Still no deployment of air bags. We are concerned that the airbags may have been defective. Accident happened in a 31 car pile up on I-68 near exit 29. We are very lucky there were no known injuries other than stiffness and sore spots. Occupants were driver 52 yrs old and front passenger 17 yrs old.

Q5

  • 8,200 miles
We rear-ended a semi truck while driving on a highway as traffic began to slow. The entire front end of our vehicle was badly damaged. The airbags did not deploy and the pretensioners on the drivers seatbelt did not engage. The speed at which we were traveling is unknown but likely more than 15 miles per hour and less than 40 miles per hour. The driver looked away from the road briefly and rear-ended the truck ahead. We are extremely concerned that our airbags and seatbelt did not engage. The driver hit her head on the steering wheel and the passengers knees were jammed into the glove compartment.
