#26 of 30 Re: hit a deer [smalltown] by backy Aug 08, 2005 (7:46 pm)
Replying to: smalltown (Aug 08, 2005 7:17 pm) I guess no one bothered to tell the deer that they were supposed to be resting! I almost hit two deer that ran onto a two-lane road about the same time of day a week ago. Fortunately I was able to swerve and miss--I really don't want to test the crash-worthiness of my car that much, and my entire family was in the car.

Replying to: smalltown (Aug 08, 2005 7:17 pm) Great feedback, smalltown, it's reassuring to hear the mechanic's POV.   Backy, glad to hear your experience was a close call only. Yikes!   All still new for me (~6wks/2300km) so do not yet have any experience on the service side of things. Here's to hoping none arise before my scheduled first appointment in September!   Lovin' my Spectra!
#28 of 30 FRONTAL CRASH by mobilemec Dec 15, 2006 (8:53 pm)
I was traveling 55 mph, in my 05 Spectra, when a high school girl pulled in front of me. I had no other choice but to t-bone her into the side. My air bags never deployed. $7600 worth of damage was done. Even the seatbelt locked up so tight that they had to replace it. I only walked out with inner chest contusions but was real surprised that the airbags did not deploy. But I was okay and the car was fixed.

Has anyone experienced the driver seat metal bracket snapping? Mine did and Kia is trying to not be responsible for it.
