I had just started the car when the air bag caution light appeared on the dashboard. Took the vehicle to dealer for diagnostic to find out the air bag control module was bad and needed to be replaced. While waiting for service, my husband was asked whether we had been in an accident and he told them no. We purchased the car from the dealer certified used and there was no mention of any accidents prior to us purchasing it. Failure to replace the control unit would have rendered the air bag system useless.

I was involved in a head on collision, resulting in my SUV being totaled. I was stationary in the double turning lane of a city street. The engine block was pushed nearly into the driver's seat. Front windshield cracked from end to end, heavy front end damage. The vehicle that hit me was doing about 45-50mph and her airbags did deploy although she had side impact/damage. My airbags never deployed. I have a concussion resulting in memory loss and painful swelling behind my eye. I am also being treated for multiple back injuries. My 17m old was in the vehicle as well but was in his rear facing car seat, not yet showing any signs of injury.
