Outback

  • 31,000 miles
I was involved in an intersection accident where my vehicle hit the other car. The impact was quite sever and the damage was about $11,000. However, the air bag did not deploy and I hit my head on the windshield. I reported this to the manufacturer so that any defect that may have caused the failure might be discovered and their action might prevent worse injury to the next person. However, they seem to be totally uninterested and told me to call my insurance company.
