NHTSA complaint: 2002 SATURN VUE — AIR BAGS:FRONTAL
ON MARCH 14, 2003, MY FAMILY AND I WERE TRAVELING W ON HWY 138 IN STOCKBRIDGE, GA. WE HAD A GREEN LIGHT AND WERE PROCEEDING THROUGH WHEN A FORD EXPLORER PULLED IN FRONT OF US. WE HIT HIM IN THE PASSENGER SIDE, SQUARELY ACROSS THE FRONT OF OUR VEHICLE. WE WERE TRAVELING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH WHEN WE HIT AND THE TWO FRONT AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THE DAMAGE TO OUR VEHICLE IS EQUAL ACROSS THE FRONT AND THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE IS CRUSHED ALL THE WAY TO THE FRONT TIRES. OUR VEHICLE WAS A 2002 SATURN VUE. NO ONE WAS INJURED SERIOUSLY, BUT WE WERE TOLD WHEN WE BOUGHT THE CAR THAT THE AIRBAGS DEPLOY IN FRONT END COLLISIONS. *NLM
