Show complaint excerpts
My car was involved in a accident where the front end crumpled but the airbags did not deploy. My daughter was the driver and she was traveling down a 6 lane highway at 30 miles an hour when a van coming out of a median crossed in front of her.
NHTSA ODI report, 2017-11-08
I was almost a complete stop when I was rear ended. The impact was pretty hard, and the vehicle was ultimately a total loss. At the time of collision, my drivers side seat collapsed back on me almost to a full recline position.
