I WAS DRIVING 40-45 MPH GO STRAIGHT ON THE LEFT LANE OF TWO LANES CITY ROAD WITH 45 MPH LIMIT. ONE CAR CAME OUT FROM MY RIGHT SIDE COMMUNITY AND MAKE LEFT TURN. IT SUDDENLY APPEARED IN FRONT OF ME, I BARELY HAD TIME TO STEP ON BRAKE AND HIT HER CAR. HER CAR WAS HIT PRETTY BAD AND MY Q7 FRONT WAS MESSED UP PRETTY BADLY. THE PROBLEM IS THE AIRBAD WAS NEVER DEPLOYED.
