Description of the problem | I was on my way to college when i hit a patch of wet road, when i tried to correct the slide, the right side grabbed and put me into a spin over both lanes and i hit the left side guard rail head on at approx. 45mph. Air bags didn't deploy for either side. Car is almost worth fixing but i will never drive that metal deathtrap again. This is my first and absolutely the last kia i will ever buy. |
