Was driving forward coming up to an intersection and approaching a red light when the brakes went out .when trying to stop and push the brake down it started shaking and the brake came up and then when pushed it back down it went to the floor and the brakes were completely out. Them going out caused us to roll through the intersection causing us to get hit by a vehicle coming through the light, spinning us around and got hit more than once. Hit us on both sides of vehicle and windows were shattered out but not one air bag went off/deployed at all and the vehicle was totalled.there were 3 babies in the vehicle when the air bags did not deploy.

Air bag light comes on when front sets are moved manually, if I wiggle connector under seat or move seat back and forth I can get the light to go out. It is my understanding that if the light is on airbag system is inoperative?? Have had this problem for last 6 months.

Note: this is the second occurrence of this problem and they were identical except for the dates and the mileage on the car. 1) events - air bag light would come on and stay on for a day or two and then go off and stay off for several days and then repeat the sequence. 2) failure - there was no actual failure but both times the dealer service advised that it needed to be fixed or the consequences could be either the airbag going off when it was not needed or not going off when needed. 3) repair - installed belt kit (14875 opc) - old part not available.

I was driving northbound on vandyke (just north of 16 mile road) when I was t-boned on the driver's side (driver's door and rear sliding door) by a driver who failed to yield (he was issued a ticket). He was driving an older full-size van. The side air bag did not deploy. Note: I just picked the vehicle that same evening from the dealer who replaced the master brake cylinder and other components...[ may or may not be related].
