My saturn lw300 had many problems while I owned it. On tuesday I had a significant accident which resulted in the total loss of my car. The impact was significant enough to total the car but the air bags did not inflate. The insurance adjuster told me the light went on but they malfunctioned. Luckily I was not injured nor was my three year old son.

Dt: 2001 saturn l300 series. The consumer's wife was involved in a head on collision while traveling 25-28 MPH, and the air bags did not deploy. He has contacted saturn and they were sending a booklet on the air bag system. The vehicle was totaled. The front end was bent. A police report was taken. The consumer's wife sustained chest, abdomen, and knee injuries, and was taken by ambulance to a hospital.
Leaving work I was going down the alley when I hit a dip at the end of the alley causing both my driver and passenger airbags to deploy. There was no front end collision just a dip in the road. I sustained a burn to my right hand and burns and bruising to my left forearm. My opinion is that there was not enough impact of any kind to deploy my airbag. I have filed a claim with my insurance company.
Had a front end accident. The air bags did not deploy.
When the ignition was turned on, the side air bags deployed.
Consumer was traveling at approximately 40 MPH when she slammed on brakes, and front of vehicle impacted a tree. When this happened, frontal, driver's and passenger's air bags failed to deploy. Rate of incline and location of sensors could have resulted in failure of air bag to deploy.
