I was on route 65 in north sewickely in pennsylvania. I was stopped due to another driver in front of me making a left hand turn. A car came from behind hitting me and I was propelled in front of oncoming traffic which hit the front end of my car. The air bags did not deploy from the head on collision. I received multiple bruises and sprained neck and shoulder. I have pain to my abdomen due to the seat belt, I had on. Nothing, my car was totaled due to this accident. I have a call into gm because this is the second accident in this car which the air bag did not deploy. The other one was a few months of buying the car brand new in 2000. When a deer ran in front of me on interstate 19. Smashing the front end the air bags did not deploy then either. I was traveling about 50 MPH when the deer hit me. I had on my safety belt.

Airbags did not deploy in a front-end collision. The vehicle was totaled. Police officers and emts were surprised and questioned weather bags were defective. Driver received small scrape to forehead which could have been prevented had airbags worked. Driver and three passengers were wearing seatbelts, so only minor bruises were sustained.

My son was driving home the night before his wedding, was not drunk according to the coroner. The police report said he must have went off the road, overcorrected and began spinning and rolling.the car went 469 feet before it came to rest on top of him, the report says he must have been ejected through the sunroof. My son was 34 very muscular. I do not believe that unless there was something mechanically wrong with the car thar he could not have controlled it. I have seen other reports of the same thing happening to other people with the same car. Also the airbags did not deploy that alone might have saved my sons life. There were two other people in the car, both hurt seriously. Please let me know if this same thing is happening to other people and if there is anything I can do. I still have the car exactly as it was, in storage.
