My daughter drove the blazer down a 5 foot embankment. Both airbags deployed, the steering is impacted and engine doesn't sound good....probably exhaust is impacted.

Does this sound like a total loss?

it could very well be when you add the cost of labor. It depends really on what the insurance company says. don't be surprised if they do. Airbags even if bought from a junkyard are about $500 each excluding labor to put it in then you have to see what other damage is done after that.
