Forester

  • 46,000 miles
Air bag did not open after my car crashed another car and the insurance declared my cart total loss. Both myself and the person in the other car were luckily not seriously injured (just neck whiplash), but I hit the care very hard, I even hurt my knees with the impact and I don't understand why the airbag did not work.
