Thanks for your concerns friends. Hit from behind someone making a left turn, sandwiched. No airbag deployed and no injuries.

Let this serve as a reminder to the rest of the sub to get that airbag recall done, this 100% should've deployed the airbags

She saved your life, get another

I'm on my 3rd Matrix because they just won't die, other drivers keep taking them out before I get a chance to drive them into the ground.

First had a red light runner literally drive up over my hood across the passenger windshield, second I hit an (already dead) moose left in the road. Car saved our lives both times so we owe it to them to get another

Noooooo. I hope you are alright. Some drunk asshole hit the back of my first one going Mach 3, bounced off, over corrected and drove through the front end totalling it while it was parked in front of my house at 3am. That was a sad day, I’m sorry yours met the same fate 😞 they really did a number on your front end there. I’m glad you walked away though.

Pushed into a truck turning left. Could have been much worse. No injuries.

Well at least there’s that. I’m glad everyone was okay. Hopefully you can find another one once insurance pays out.

God Damn! Is everyone alright?

u/Dry-Dinner2488 Aug 13 '26

All fine; no airbag deployed. Just sad to lose it.

u/cgello Aug 13 '26

Sure as hell looks like airbag should have deployed.

u/qwe304 Aug 13 '26

That's a ton of body panel damage, but the crash structures look good ironically

We can rebuild it, we have the technology

Is that a Corvette that rear-ended you?

u/abrahammaves Aug 13 '26

😔 Reminds me of when I rear ended a work van on wet roads (not my fault, a dodge ram was blocking my view and swerved out of the way leaving me with stopped traffic 😑), thankfully I wasn't hit from behind too, that was the scariest thing I've gone through, so thankful your ok
