  • Date complaint filed: May-15, 2023
  • Failed components: AIR BAGS and FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: WARNINGS

On may 9, 2023 @ 3pm. We were traveling at @60 mph when another vehicle pulled out in front of us. I hit brakes and swerved to miss the vehicle (which i did miss). I slid @ 350 feet, hit two divided highway medians/curbs and hit a concreted double legged (with at least 4 crossbars) stop sign with large solar panel and flashing lights. The front driver side of was crushed, the windshield and sunroof shattered as the solar panel and lights of the sign hit the car. The car was towed by the insurance company (geico) and is awaiting their inspection. There was a police report/crash report created (arkansas [xxx]) there were no warning lights or other indication of problems on the dashboard prior to the accident. The front passenger hit head on front and middle side beam and door glass. Has concussion. No airbags deployed and i don't think the automatic braking ever alerted or engaged. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).
