I am not sure if this warrants a complaint but when I wreaked my vehicle my airbags did not deploy. I was traveling about 50mph on a main road it was night time and had started to rain and I hit a cow that was standing in the middle of the road. There was about $8000 dollars worth of damage to my vehicle. I am just curious as to why airbags didn't deploy. Should they have?
