What owners say
I was stopped in traffic because a few cars ahead of me someone was stopped to turn left. I was rear ended by someone in a nissan rogue SUV which hit me with enough force to push my car forward and smash me into a ford explorer. I was hit twice and my airbags did not deploy and my car sustained substantial rear-end and front damage. So much so that the car was declared a total loss. My air bag did not deploy and from the damage done should have. If it had, I would of sustained less injuries from my accident.
