2016 Ford Focus airbags complaints

My girl friend ,age 72 was driving the ford focus and turning into her apt. Complex, she was hit at about a 35 degree angle and although the lower air bag on the steering column deplayed the air bag on the top of the steering wheel did not. The car was totalled.the seat belt saved her from serious injury, but her clavicle was bruised and she has sore muscles on her neck and the left side of her body. The lower air bag that did deploy saved her from serious lower body injury except for some swelling and bruising. Her vehicle was in motion when she was hit by a truck coming from the other direction. My concern is should that upper air bag deployed the same as the lower air bag did. Is it possible the upper air bag was defective,and has anyone else reported this?
Tl* the contact's daughter owned a 2016 ford focus. The contact stated that while his daughter was driving at 30 MPH, the driver struck the rear of another vehicle. All air bags except the driver knee air bag failed to deploy. The driver sustained bruises to her chest and hands and the front passenger suffered back injuries. Medical attention was not required. A police report was not filed. The vehicle was towed from the scene and the contact's auto insurance company confirmed that the vehicle was destroyed. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and advised the contact to take the vehicle to encinitas ford 1424 encinitas blvd, encinitas, ca 92024. The dealer stated that the contact should speak to the manufacturer. The manufacturer was contacted. The approximate failure mileage was 20,000.
When the car starts, it displays several dashboard warning messages and chimes, indicating malfunctioning air bags, seat belts, traction control, and hill start assist (manual transmission). Dealership diagnosed a faulty restraint control module (rcm) and said the car was unsafe to drive until the module is replaced. That was two months ago, and the dealership still hasn't found the replacement part.
My son wrecked our brand new ford, over 6,000 dangero. Most of the damage was front end. None of the air bags deployed. Not a good safety feature if they don't work.
