Son was driving car and hit another car head on. He received concussion and broken foot. He is not sure what happened to cause him to go left of center, air bags did not deploy and car was totaled. This was actually 2nd time car veered off for no reason. First time car hit a curb and blew a tire. No explanation as to why this happened, then car was drove until the serious head on crash, now that recalls are being made public about ignition issues, we feel like this caused both wrecks.
I rear ended a pick up truck head on at 35 MPH my air bags did not deploy which caused me to hit my face and chest on the steering wheel.
