I hit a deer at 55 MPH on highway destroying the entire front end including the radiator. No air bags deployed. Police report number [xxx]. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
I purchased my vehicle on november 22, 2017. I was in an accident on december 14, 2017 where I hit a dog and my car caught fire. The fire department and police didn't believe that I hit a dog and it caused this damage. I contacted gm to see if they would investigate but they told me they would not investigate unless my insurance contacted them and they also told me to read my manual on seatbelts when I let them know the airbags did not deploy. I believe whole heartedly that this car is unsafe if it caught on fire from hitting a dog and they dog was not large at all. Please be careful id considering this vehicle
