What owners wrote
Was rear-ended at a fast speed by an 18 tractor trailer. No air bags deployed. I was slung with such force again the steering wheel that the back of my seat fell backwards. My sons seatbelt came loose and by the grace of god I had enough strengths to grab him and pull him back to keep from going through the windshield. I have the most damage because I had to get loose from my seat belt. Neither airbags deployed which in the kind force we were hit with and on top of that the seat belt coming out.
