We just purchased a 1993 subaru impreza 4 door sedan. Yesterday, november 27, 2004 while we were stopped at a traffic light, we were hit by another vehicle which was traveling about 30 MPH. With my foot on the brake, our subaru was propelled 5-15 feet. The air bag never deployed. My wife an I required emergency medical attention. I just noticed that the federal safety agency issued a recall on defective subaru airbags in 1994, but there isn't even an option to search for a subaru problems in 1993.
