I HAD A GRAND MAL SEIZURE WHILE DRIVING AND ACCELERATED VERY QUICKLY WHEN MY FOOT LOCKED DOWNWARD ON THE GAS AND MY TWELVE YEAR OLD DAUGHTER HAD TO GRAB STEERING WHEEL AND TURN US INTO A LIGHTPOLE TO AVOID DRIVING STRAIGHT INTO A BRICK WALL. FULL FRONTAL DAMAGE AT AN EXCESSIVE SPEED IN WHICH THE LIGHTPOLE ALMOST CUT THE CAR IN HALF AND NOT A SINGLE AIRBAG DEPLOYED!! CAR IS A COMPLETE TOTAL LOSS AND NO AIRBAGS DEPLOYED FRONT OR BACK, DRIVER OR PASSENGER. LOTS OF INJURIES.
