| Driving west bound on interstate 10 fwy approximate time 2:30a.m. i had a tire blowout. the blowout in turn made me lose control of the vehicle and i went into a spin causing me to crash into a post on the side of the fwy. upon crashing into the post my head hit the steering wheel at which time the airbag did not deploy. i have never had an accident in this car before, my assumption was that the airbag functioned. the airbag feature in my car proved to be totally non-functional. *tr | |||
