Filed Oct 4, 2021 · Airbags · NY · crash

The car was a total loss due to a MVA which involved this car only. The car hydroplaned, it spun and the traction control light was blinking. The front of the car hit the guardrail, spun, and then the back end hit the guardrail. At this point, all the dash lights were blinking and the car dead in the road. The flashers were turned on but due to the car dead, there were no flashers on and the car was stuck in the fast lane of a three lane highway in the dark and pouring rain. The air bags never deployed nor did the seatbelt tighten up. Components that failed: flashers, airbags, seatbelts, etc. Safety: could not alert other drivers that the car was in the road and was almost struck by a tractor trailer and other cars. Problem was reported to the insurance company who claimed it as a total loss. The police were called to the scene of the accident so there is a police report. The traction control warning light lit when the car hydroplaned. All the lights on the dash started flashing when it hit the guardrail, then after that, unsure when the car died and no power. The tow truck driver could not turn the steering wheel when he tried to pull it up the flat bed.

My husband was traveling at approximately 50 m.p.h. He was looking in the rearview mirror. When he looked ahead, the SUV in front of him was stopped for the vehicle ahead to turn. By the time he saw the SUV was stopped, there was about 10-15 feet between our car and the SUV. He braked and tried to swerve to the side to miss the SUV but was unsuccessful. He slammed into the rear of the SUV. The SUV suffered minor damage. Our vehicle suffered significant front end damage and was later totaled. No airbags deployed in our car.

I was rear ended on the freeway at a very high rate of speed. I was traveling at 65-70 MPH... The car that hit me was approximately traveling 85-90.. The impact sent me across the 2 and 1 lane in traffic.. No air bags deployed anywhere in the vehicle. However smoke from the bag filled the passenger space and the dash indicator lights , display a deployment had taken place. Again no bags deployed.

Driving from ski area in line of cars at 15mph when cars ahead started to stop. Had "snowflake" button pushed. Brakes appeared not to engage, progressively pushed on brake harder but no effect, fortunately by the time of impact car had slowed to 5mph and airbags did not deploy. Damage to front grille. Turning off "snowflake" (ABS) returned braking to normal.
