Description of the problem | On november 7, 2020 around 630pm, i was driving on city street going nw on sunset in fair oaks, ca in a far right lane. I was driving about 35 to 40 mph with one other cars infront or besides me. Certainly while i was driving, i heard a loud boom. Immediately after the loud boom, i could not see and realized my steering wheel airbag deployed. Then i looked to my right i saw a deer limping. So i immediately knew i just hit a deer from my front left corner bumper after i pulled over to the side street. After i pulled over to the side street i notice all airbags in the car deployed including the seats, dashboard, roof and side airbags. I took my car to get estimate for the repair. I was told that base on the damage of the vehicle hit by the deer, there is no way that the entire airbags in the car shouldn't be deployed. So i comaint to subaru. It is still under investigation. I believe hitting the deer should have not made the airbags to deployed especially the entire airbags system. The estimate came out to be over $15000 to fix. More than the value of the car. |
