Safety

My daughter was in an accident and wrote off her 2015 Hyundai i30, but not one airbag went off. We can’t get answers from the car dealer, they keep giving her the runaround by saying they will ring back but never do. Where can we go to get answers as to why the airbags didn’t deploy?

We bought our 2016 Subaru Forester, it’s our fifth, last October. I was shocked to find my driver’s side mirror does not show a true image of traffic, and the first few times I drove it I almost had an accident. Why would such a safe car, which is the reason we always buy Subaru have a dangerous side mirror? Could it be replaced by a normal one at Subaru expense?

I'm in the market for a new car for my family and am just so confused about what to buy. My number one priority is safety, but it appears almost all new cars these days have a 5-star rating, but these vehicles vary considerably. I have witnessed first-hand carnage on our roads, hence why I'm so concerned about safety.

My daughter is turning 17 and I want to get her a car now, so she has a year to drive it before she gets her licence. I have a set budget of $13,000 drive away. What suggestions do you have in the line of a 5-door sporty hatch auto?
