Driving on free way 210 catching on ramp 5 s fre way both front and back left tires exploded on driver side airbags did not deploy at inpact the modgile was defected I was so shoked scared but my sensor was on., ant the heat coming out of the dash board and steering and un sure confusion.
Car was traveling approximately 30MPH on a suburban street and was broad sided on the drivers side. The impact area was drivers front tire and the a post. Car was declared total by insurance company. Concern is, the drivers door air bag did not deploy. This impact was strong enough to rip the a post in the middle and buckle it inward. The impact was before the door which should of triggered the airbag. The car that hit mine ripped the outer shell from the door and puncture a large hole in the lower front corner.
