The car is still in the process of being repaired but none of the airbags deployed at the time of the accident even though many driver side components were damaged and over 28k worth of damage was sustained. I was driving through to an intersection attempting to merge into traffic. And the proximity alarms went off but no air bags deployed. …”

“I was going forward in drive maybe 5 mph, came to a stop and opened my driver door , My car has the safety feature when you open your door, it automatically goes into park, it did, and so I proceeded to get out. I noticed my car kind of made a jerk, and the next thing I know it was going in reverse. I tried to jump in to stop it so it wouldn’t hit my house and it ran me over on the ankle. Only thing that stopped my car was a tree and another vehicle”
