I was involved in a car accident last sunday and my 2007 nissan altima was damaged irreversibly with the front of the car, including the engine, pushed inward and the frame of the car bent. The car was hit twice first by left side by a car coming at 50 miles per hour and on the right side when my car turned and hit the car on my right side. With this serious damage, the airbag did not deploy. I will like someone to investigate if it is because of flaw in the car. I cant imagine what would have happened if the accident was bigger and the airbag did not work...

After being involved in a 3-car accident on the nj turnpike at 3:15p.m. The air bags did not deploy, everyone was wearing seat belts, yet no one was hurt, not even a whip lash. The left side sustained headlight and hood damage, drivers door would not open and it appeared that the radiator was busted since liquid was pouring out. We were towed to the nearest collision place and geico towed it from there to its own shop. Since the car was so new, geico had some difficulty in obtaining part numbers and cost. The next call from geico was to tell us that the car was totaled. The battery exploded. Battery acid eating most of the components under the hood. Question which was defective.. The air bags the electrical system or the battery why would a battery explode when the car did not have enough impact to deploy the air bags?
