In owners' own words
I was stopped at a stop sign at an intersection. A gmc suv went through the stop sign, at a high rate of speed, across from me, t-boned a subaru that had the right of way, and then the gmc crashed into my front end. The accident destroyed my front end and moved my car into an angle. Neither my drivers or passengers airbags deployed. It is possible that the accident missed an airbag sensor, but I would be amazed.
