I t-boned a car going approximately 35-40 MPH with no braking time and the air bags did not deploy. It caused over $12,000 worth of damage to the front end of my car, but the air bags didn't go off? I bought the car used, but was told that it was a "certified" toyota used car. I now wonder if there was an air bag in it at all.
