I was driving down the road at 55 mph when a deer ran out and hit the passenger side of my vehicle. It bounced and rolled off the drivers side. I pulled the vehicle off to the side of the road. All of the electric components in the vehicle were on. The interior lights were on, the hazard lights were flashing and the console was locked up. I pushed the buttons, but nothing happened. The airbags did not deploy there was a message on the screen that say service airbag (but they hadn't deployed). I could smell something burning, the vehicle was smoking and I could hear something popping, I got out to assess the damage and my vehicle was on fire. The vehicle ended up being a total loss.. this is happened in ga and the state patrol did the police report.

Blind side alert activates when it is raining and there are no cars nearby. This only occurs when raining. No codes are thrown so dealer service won't troubleshoot. This can only be reproduced on a highway or parkway, when it is raining and no other cars are nearby. Cannot be reproduced on regular streets with other cars around. I've had my car in to the dealer service 3 times, all with the same results. No codes in the computer and cannot reproduce. The service department only tests on the local streets. There are other cars around, so how can this be an accurate test"?"
