Description of the problem | "tamara recall" i'm writing reguarding an accident that totaled out my vehicle but none of my air bags deployed ? I hit a deer at 75-80 mph on a hwy it hit my drivers side headlight and continued up over my hood and actually dented part of my passenger side fender i couldn't even open the door all the way! None of my air bags went off. Luckily i had my seat belt on which something in the seat belt blew when it locked me in place due to the impact of the deer hitting jumping out at me a warning popped up on my dash believe said "locked" but all happened so fast , it pushed & cracked just about everything under my hood. I had smoke coming from my vehicle, fluids on the ground no fire thankfully ! My suv was totaled and many have questioned me about the air bags. I'm now wondering the same thing. Why in the world did none of these go off ? If i wouldn't have had my seat belt on who knows what would have happened with the air bags not going off ! I've done research i haven't seen any recalls, but i am a little confused by this! |
