My wife ran into the back of a parked car on a residential street. She was driving her 2001 mercedes Ml320 at approximately 35 mph. At impact, the vehicle flipped, landing on the passenger side roof at the front corner, then rolled over to an upright position. Not a single airbag in the vehicle activated to protect her, even though both sides impacted the ground during the flip and rollover.
While driving 30 mph the consumers vehicle was hit on the drivers side and subsequently rolled two times before it landed back on all four tires. None of the six air bags deployed and the Mercedes Benz tele-aid system never activated therefore the service center was not immediately informed of the accident.
