WAS IN A ACCIDENT 2/16 SPEED LIMIT 40 DRIVING ON CITY STREET. CAR IN FRONT OF ME STOPPED IN MIDDLE OF THE RD AND STARTED BACKING UP TRIED TO AVOID COLLISION AND STILL HAD IMPACT. THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY AND THE CAR ENGINE SEEMED TO ACCELERATE INSTEAD OF SLOW DOWN. I HAD THIS HAPPEN ONE TIME BEFORE WHILE BREAKING BUT THEN IT SWITCHED BACK AND DROVE NORMAL CALLED DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID NO RECALLS. MY CAR WAS A TOTAL LOSS FRONT IMPACT NO AIRBAGS DEPLOYED
