I lost control of my truck when the driver front tire deflated. This occurred as I was taking an off ramp on to another freeway. This caused me to bounce off the hollow tubes in front of the concert divider. My 2002 toyota tacoma will require over $8k to repair. The driver and passenger airbags never deployed in my single cab truck. The damage taken was on the front driver fender/bumper (I have pictures) clearly the airbags should have deployed but failed. This caused me to slam into the steering wheel upon impact.

Topic:" drivers-side airbag failure.nfortunately, I was in an accident, which I was cited. Fortunately, no one was seriously injured. I impacted the rear of a stattionary car at approx. 50mph and my airbag failed to deploy. I thank the lord nobody was hurt. But, what if someone was injured, the manufacturer would clearly be liable. I contacted the manufacturer about the incident. Thier representative reported the sensors were not triggered, therefore, the air bag did not deploy. I feel this is an insufficient explaination and I need further information.
