The contact owns a 2025 Mitsubishi Outlander sport. The contact stated that while driving approximately 50 mph a deer ran in front of the vehicle impacting the driver side fender, hood, bumper was impacted , while coming up a hill a deer ran in front of the vehicle. There was no additional property damage. The vehicle came to a stop on the side. The airbags did not deployed. The crash avoidance system did not alert. The vehicle was towed to the residence. No warning lights illuminated. The vehicle vehicle appeared to be destroyed but had not been officially deemed destroyed at time of report. No injuries were sustained.

I rented this vehicle from alamo/enterprise at denver airport on 9/7/2025, and that day, while enroute to casper wy hit a large deer on I-24 n in wyoming where the posted speed limit is 80 mph, which was exactly the speed I was travelling. The deer was struck by the drivers side front of vehicle, causing extensive damage , loss of headlight and many small parts and electronic sensors as there were a number of dangling wires. The deer was killed instantly. My safety concern is that the air bags failed to deploy, which was surprising given the speed and over $17,000 damage estimate from: enterprise, case # 23039354, contact person deisy can be reached at 1 (866)300-4407 at extension 12068. The car was drivable, after tying down all of the loose parts and wires and front grill. I feel that hitting a large deer at 80 mph should have set off air bags, but I could be wrong, since the radiator did not leak and the vehicle remained drivable- but I thought it was worth alerting you and being put in your data to see if other Mitsubishi Outlanders from 2025 have same problem.
