2nd Edge on the way after 1st a total loss T-boned into guardrail

[Fitz75]

Hi Guys!

 

I wanted to share my recent experience in what resembled a "Nascar" crash two weeks ago. I had a fully loaded 15 SEL and was in the left passing lane of a parkway when a young girl flew up behind me, went to pass me on my right and went too far to the right and off the road. She overcorrected her steer and t-boned my car, pushing me into the left guard rail. The side curtain bags were out before I knew what had happened. I was hit so hard that my head hit the right passenger airbag upon impact, and then I hit the driver's side airbag when I hit the guard rail. The car never fishtailed, I was able to stop it once I straightened up in my seat. It literally resembled a padded crib. I cannot believe I do not have any broken bones, etc just some pain in my abdomen from the lap part of the seat belt, and tightness in my neck and shoulders. The car immediately dialed 911 as soon as it stopped rolling. I am so impressed with how this car handled so well and I can't wait to have it back again. The side glass did not even crack from the impact it took on either side. In the two years I've had this car I've never had any issues other than petty complaints (my navigation system is too chatty when she doesn't understand me, it also liked to lock up the doors on me and made me fish for my keyfob to unlock it, very feisty! A tradeoff I'll take any day.

Glad you are OK....the Oakville plant is putting Edge's together as fast as they can...

Thankfully you walked away safe. Cars are easy to replace, people are not. Glad the Edge did its job for you.

It is nice to know that the built in modem was able to dial 911 and get help asap.
Glad all is well. As stated we can replace a car but people is something else..
