ON A SECOND OCCASION, DRIVING ON FREEWAY AT 65 MPH, MY SON SWERVED AND HIT THE SIDERAIL, THEN SWERVED ONTO THE MEDIAN OF THE ROAD. THE ENTIRE BACK/SIDE OF PASSENGERS SIDE WAS DESTROYED TO THE POINT THAT REPAIR WOULD BE MORE THAN VALUE OF CAR...METAL WAS LITERALLY RIPPED OUT AND PART OF THE BUMPER TORN OFF; YET NO AIRBAG DEPLOYED!! CAR WAS STILL DRIVABLE, MY SON TOOK IT OUT AND HAD AN ACCIDENT WHERE HE RAN INTO A BUILDING ADDING MORE DAMAGE TO THE DEER DAMAGE AT THE FRONT END OF THE CAR...NO AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT!!!!! AGAIN!!!
