T-Boned by a truck

I AM amused by the faults people are having starting the VE Calais V. After it failed to start several times, I told the dealer to take mine back until it was fixed. I got it back a week later with a larger battery fitted. The problem was fixed. There were other issues as well, but the problem that made me sell my car was that none of the airbags deployed when I was T-boned by a truck. A Holden spokeswoman told me the airbags were not designed to operate in sideswipe accidents. My dealer has been great in all of this, but has received no support from Holden and I have now changed to an imported car to get the bad taste out of my mouth.
