Car accident. Airbags never deployed.
I was in a car accident. My whole front end was damaged and my vehicle air bags never deployed like they should have.
Recently involved in an accident where I was rear ended. Was stopped at a red light, light had just changed, I put my foot on the gas pedal to accelerate when I was hit from behind. No airbags deployed, although there is a message on my dash now that states air bag deployed and also the service air bag light is on. Car is currently in the shop for the repairs to the rear end, bumper and deck lid.

In november of 2015 I was sitting at a stop sign and somebody hit me head on at approximately 45 to 50 MPH causing a substantial amount of damage to the front end of my car costing nearly a total of $9,000. The air bags didnt deploy resulting minor injuries. On march 06, 2016 my vehicle was involved in a head on collision with a deer at approximately 65 MPH resulting in $8,100 worth of damage to my vehicle. The air bags did not deploy again only this time no injuries were caused. Right after the accident before the car was towed from the scene there was a airbag light on my dashboard that was staying on for a couple days then went away. I contacted gm personally and they told me that there is nothing that they can do for me. Both the dealership where I purchased the car and my insurance company have stated that based on all information given, they believe that the airbags should have deployed and that given that they didn't there is a fault in performance.
