What owners wrote
I was coming down westbound on racquet club (city of palm springs, ca) the light was green as I was approaching the intersection. I was in the lane closest to the curb/sidewalk. I do recall seeing the truck coming down southbound from a far distance. I was half way on the intersection when I see the truck coming very fast and the next thing I know it hit my car it spun ( I believe twice). The airbags did not deploy and my two kids were with me.
During a 40 MPH frontal vehicle collision front air bags did not deploy. Consumer sustained minor injuries, and had the vehicle towed. Dealership will be notified of the problem.
