My Taos saved my life.

I had a medical emergency two weeks ago while driving and ended up coming back to awareness as my brake assist went off. I only had enough time to slam on the brakes before I plowed into the car in front of me, which hit two more cars. I (and everyone else) walked away from the scene unscathed initially. I was hospitalized for a couple of hematomas and some arterial bleeding in my chest from how hard I hit the seatbelt, but that’s it. My only injuries are from the force I hit the seatbelt with.

Doctors, first responders, and insurance all believe that my car’s safety features likely saved my life and reduced injuries to the other drivers/passengers/vehicles in front of me. I only needed a week off work before returning to my very active job as a preschool teacher. My Taos was totaled but I refused to get any other car than a Taos and I managed to get the same year, make, and model used in blue for a great deal and only a slightly higher payment.

I’ll forever love my grey Taos. Thank you for saving my life.
