I was hit broadside, on the driver's side, by another driver going approximately 25-30 MPH but my side air bag did not deploy. The other car crashed into the front three-quarters of my driver's door plus the rest of the driver's side in front of the door. My car repair facility says the air bag on this model will only deploy if the car is hit precisely on the frame between the driver's door and driver's side rear door so because my driver's door was hit slightly in front of that -- the front three-quarters of the driver's door not the back one-quarter -- it didn't deploy. That doesn't seem safe; is that correct??

Passenger airbag warning light illuminates sporadically while driving with a passenger in the front seat. Vehicle has 7000 miles and I traded in an identical vehicle 2009 with 25,000 miles that was doing the exact same thing. Dealer could find nothing wrong, but agreed that if the light is on, the airbag would not deploy in an accident. He stated that possibly "the leather on the seat has to age to give it more flexibility". My wife is 140 pounds and 68" tall. I believe that should keep the airbag system active. A google search revealed that this is a common problem.
