What owners wrote
Tl* the contact owns a 2004 pontiac grand prix. While driving 55 MPH, the engine stalled. The vehicle spun out uncontrollably and crashed into a ditch. The air bags failed to deploy. The driver sustained injuries to the neck, back, and both legs. The front passenger sustained injuries to the neck and both legs. The rear passenger sustained injuries to the back and both legs. The rear passenger sustained injuries to the back and neck. Medical attention was required for three occupants.
My brother was involved in a very serious car accident with my car in which he hit one side of the wall and then bounced off and hit another side of the wall all with the airbags not deploying. The car damage makes the car appear as if there was no airbag in the car because the whole front dash was moved and on the passenger side there is a dent in the dash, appearing like there was no airbag in the car.
