My daughter was involved in a front end collision, in which her air bags on her Forte did not deploy. The impact was so significant that the bumper was split and the right side under body (frame) that meets the headlight assembly was bent! luckily, my daughter was not injured, as the impact was more on the right side. If she would've had a passenger to believe they would have sustained great injury. My daughter was traveling 45 mph, when she came upon a 96 Jeep grande cherokee without brake lights, stopped for a turning vehicle. She applied her brakes but was unable to stop in time. Her kia Forte, then went under the Jeep grande cherokee causing damages in which totaled her car.
I was involved in a fairly serious front end collision and the airbags did not deploy. The impact was at the right front frame rail and corner. The impact was enough to push a full sized Chevrolet pick up sideways approx. 6 feet. I was traveling at approx 35-40 mph in a straight line when the truck pulled out straight across the road in front of me causing me to collide with it broadside at the trucks left front wheel area.
