| I was in an accident on july 20,2006. a girl ran a red light and i hit her in the passenger side of her car head on with my 2000 isuzu rodeo. it was a full frontal collision for me and my children. luckily , we are always buckled up because none of my airbags deployed at all. the other car was going about 60 mph and her airbag deployed when i hit her but mine did not. luckily, my children were not hurt badly but unfortunately, i sustained neck, back and knee injuries. i was and still am very upset that my airbags failed. even the owner of the body shop i use was in shock that they did not deploy as the impact was enough to split the frame of my rodeo and total it out. i will not buy another isuzu and i will also not recommend them to my family or friends in the future. thank you for your time, i hope i can help another family from getting injured. | |||
