I was driving normally on freeway with heavy traffic. The weather was clear, and the road was flat and had no obstacle. Then the airbags on driver side and passenger side deployed even though I did not hit anyone or anyone hit me. I did have one collision one year earlier in which the airbag did not deploy.

Memorial day weekend. Motorcycles everywhere. Traffic. Im in the far lane on the beltway and my exits coming up. Motorcycles everywhere. Heavy traffic too but its moving. I cant cut off the motorcycles. So I wait to pass them. Im merging, looking to the side, looking behind me. I wasn't paying to much attention to what was coming up in front of me. I mean, what else is there but cars in front of me. That's all I need to watch out for right? So I thought. I made it all the way to the right lane, merging into exit lane. "oh no!" there's a curb. A triangle curb right in front of me. I swerve to my left. Rear right tire hits the curb and takes lift off. And so does the car, right into the center of the beltway. I have it, I can feel me gaining control. Then I feel the front tires loose it. And there's the wall. Smack. Face first. Spin around one good time. Roll to a stop perfectly on the small shoulder on the right side of the road. Well im sticking out a little but im out of the way. No one hit me. No other accidents were caused. Only one couple stopped but that's ok. And only after the shaking wore off, and I stopped crying did I realize. "hey, why didn't the air bags go off?" this was a pretty serious accident. There's frame damage to the front of my car. Totaled! Everyone was ok. Neck pains and a bruised knee. But considering the conditions of this accident, it could have gone way worst. And no airbags?

We were driving in a parking lot and had about 5 feet to go before the car was parked. I depressed the brake pedal and the car slowed down further. Suddenly the car engine revved and the car took off. I pressed hard on the brake pedal, not the gas pedal, but the car wouldn't stop. I turned the wheel to avoid hitting the building in front of me, but hit the adjacent restaurant instead. The car crashed into the restaurant wall and sent a large refrigerator crashing to the other side of the room. Fortunately, no restaurant personnel were in the path of the refrigerator at the time. Significant damage was done to the restaurant and to the car. My husband who had already taken off his seat belt, as we were nearly stopped, hit the windshield with his head. He is in the hospital. I badly bruised my hand and chest. The air bags did not deploy at all. Our car is a 2000 nissan maxima. It was towed to a nearby body shop. No one has touched it or attempted any repairs. I expect the insurance company will determine the car has been totaled.
