| I was on a local highway in western ny when i caught black ice. i was going approximately 45-55 mph/ the car went into a slide which i almost corrected out of but hit more black ice sending me into the guardrail. the front end of the car is smashed and i came to rest about 25 ft from where i impacted the guardrail. no air bags went off and i was not hurt. but at that speed the airbags should have deployed. i'm not seeking any compensation but from doing a bit of research i am finding that this has happened more than a few times. maybe a recall is in order for the 2007 mazda 3 4 dr sedan is in order? | |||
