I was in an accident going about 35 miles per hour when I hit a bronco I knocked his tires off complete total of my vehicle the hood was destroyed I have pictures of my car the air bags did not go off and I hit my head pretty hard on the steering wheel I'm glad it was just me as my kids would have been injured but my concern is with the airbags not deploying even the cop on scene said they should have deployed.

A vehicle turned in front of me causing a subsequent crash resulting in front damage to my car. Airbags did not deploy although bumper was torn off and hood bent. Additionally aside from the crash, my car has started losing power while driving. I was driving on the highway when it lost power. I was able to maneuver and get it to the side of the road. It finally restarted. It will not start sometimes. Had the engine light checked and it shows there is a sensor problem. Will not identify which pedal sensor. Frustrated and will not drive it on the highway.
