While driving, the seat belt popped loose. The driver lost control of the vehicle. This caused the driver to hit a tree. None of the air bags deployed. The driver sustained head injuries. The driver was seen by a medical technician on site, but refused to go to the hospital. The vehicle was totaled.
While driving 35 MPH vehicle collided with a deer in the road. Upon impact, dual air bag did not deploy.
In head on collision, estimated speed on impact roughly 20-25 MPH--airbag did not deploy---should it have? Not sure what speed would caue airbag to deploy- if there is a defect in my airbag system,because it did not deploy, resume with a class action, which I will check off, if there is no recourse or reason why my airbag did not deploy, I feel that it should have, but anyway, if there is reason to substanciate the air bag not going off, the I will disregard the class action. Please reply asap if possible. And yes, I received minor injury anyway. Thank you. Carol coyle
