On January 3rd, 2021, I was driving to work on slushy, icy secondary roads. The rear end caught some slush, slid sideways and sent me sliding across the oncoming traffic lanes and into a ditch where I collided with a tree head on. Upon impact no airbags deployed.
First there was a tire blowout, tire separated with 11/32 thread left. Second at least 1 seat belt did not hold. Third no airbags went off. Fourth the roof caved in like a "v" shape in the drivers compartment, by the windshield.
The vehicle has been involved in two accidents in which neither time did the air bags deploy,during one accident the consumer says she also doesnt remember the seat belt tightening causing her to strick her head on the steering wheel and knees to hit the dash.
