What owners wrote
I was driving in very thick fog which was a white out. I was going through a turn and was lost in the fog quickly and I ended up off the side of the road struck a speed limit sign and a utility pole on my drivers side door because I seen it at the last moment and tried to avoid hitting it. But at the point of impact my driver side airbag never deployed at all causing me to suffer numerous broken ribs and loss of work for over 2 months time.
