My husband was driving on the highway, when a deer crossed and was hit by our vehicle. The car hit the deer broadside with the front end, then the car was knocked down into the ditch and hit an embankment with the front end. Both impacts were across the whole front of the car. The airbag did not deploy with either impact. The insurance company will be totaling the vehicle due to the amont of damage to the front end of the car. This is the first time we have had a crash in this vehicle so this is the first time we have noticed this defect.
