Driver of a 2012 bmw 328i, was making a left turn out of a parking lot when her vehicle was struck on the driver's side (roughly the middle of the vehicle) by a chevrolet blazer that was travelling at a rate of at least 40 MPH. None of the bmw's airbags deployed. As a result of the airbag failure, the driver's head went through the window of the driver's door, resulting in physical and neurological injuries. Bmw states that the airbag system is/was working properly (I.e. - bmw asserts the airbag system should not have deployed in this situation). Driver's complaint is that airbag deployment would have protected her and prevented said injuries. Thus, either the airbag malfuntioned and failed to deploy, or it is designed improperly. If there were ever a situation that warranted a side airbag to deploy, this accident presents those facts.
Passenger side air bag disengages if passenger sits on any type cushion. Passenger side air bag disengaged light is on if passenger is in the passenger seat sitting on any type of cushion or padding. The air bag can disengage if passenger wears a padded winter coat. This bmw 328i originally was delivered with the air bag engaged with or without a passenger in the passenger seat, the passenger side air bag disabled light was always off and the air bag was engaged. Bmw will not restore to the original delivered condition. The passenger sitting on any cushion or padding is in danger of injury because of a disengaged passenger air bag. This was not the original delivered condition....updated11/21/12
