Airbags did not deploy in a crash by model year
What owners say
My vehicle was turning left on a city street. Its right rear quarter panel was struck by a vehicle in the intersection. That impact spun the vehicle around where it was once again involved in a collision. So, by the time it was over, the passenger-side quarter panel, passenger-side door, and the front of the vehicle were severely damaged. The air bags never deployed. The front-seat passenger and driver sustained severe injuries.
A woman pulled out of a side road and was one foot in front of me and I had no where to go so I hit her in back of her truck. I had no where to go. She pulled out fast and then slowed down. When I hit the airbags did not go off and I was wondering why.
My car was struck on the driver's side, by a driver that went into our lane, running my car off the road, which caused my vehicle to go up over curb and head on into a brick wall. The airbag never deployed from the impact of being hit and crashing straight into a brick wall. I was instructed that I need to report this and find out if the airbag is faulty. My car is reported totaled by insurance company. I have pictures from the scene of the accident to show how the car went into the brick wall and no airbags were deployed.
I was hit by a speeding driver in cross traffic. (a lot of people a running through red lights!) the front bumper and grill area was badly damaged, right headlamp assembly was torn off and hood was buckled. My seat belt did not stop me from being thrown forward and the airbag did not deploy, causing my head to hit the windshield, breaking the glass. I received medical attention for my head injury. Two safety systems that failed. My car has been "totaled" by the insurance company.
