I was merging onto the interstate going approximately 35 mph, I spun out on black ice across three lanes of traffic and smashed into the guard rail. The airbags DID NOT deploy during this accident, even when the car rolled back and hit the wall again. Since the airbags did not deploy, I suffered trauma to my chin and inside my mouth. I have facial cellulitis, and I needed to receive 3 stitches inside my mouth to stop the bleeding. This happened because my face hit the steering wheel, rather than being protected by the airbag. There were no warning lights on the vehicle prior to failure. The airbags not deploying could have potentially injured me greatly if I had been going any faster.

Takata recall, my wife was in two accidents, one in april 2011 she was driving down a suburb street to catch a light on a left turn and when the light turned green for the other side coming at her, a car already at speed limit continued and my wife struck that car on its left side with her front left bumper ; airbags never deployed, she was in another accident on 12/4/2015. She was driving on the freeway in the far right lane going about 70mph when a van drifted into her lane forcing her off the road. Her car fishtailed when it hit the shoulder and when trying to regain control of the vehicle, it flipped over and rolled a times off the freeway, landing upside down and then caught fire. No airbags deployed in this case either.

Vehicle hydroplaned and ran off the road. It then came back on the road and ended up t-boning the trailer of an 18-wheeler before skidding back around and coming to a stop on the side of the road. Vehicle was totaled but the air bags never deployed. The speed at impact was somewhere between 35-50 MPH so it definitely should have caused the air bags to deploy.

On jan.8,2013 my vehicle was wrecked. Local police and the state trooper informed me the bravada had flipped over several times and was totaled. When I went to the tow company to claim my belongs from the vehicle I noticed the airbags didn't deploy. My husband had to climb out of the back of the vehicle. He wasn't hurt bad but he could have died.this problem should be looked into. I had this vehicle serviced for several problems,but I was never told the airbags didn't work.
