1 Air Bag Not Deploy problem

Failure Date: 11/28/2012

Driver of a 2012 BMW 328i, was making a left turn out of a parking lot when her vehicle was struck on the driver's side (roughly the middle of the vehicle) by a Chevrolet blazer that was travelling at a rate of at least 40 mph. None of the BMW's airbags deployed. As a result of the airbag failure, the driver's head went through the window of the driver's door, resulting in physical and neurological injuries. BMW states that the airbag system is/was working properly (I. E. - BMW asserts the airbag system should not have deployed in this situation). Driver's complaint is that airbag deployment would have protected her and prevented said injuries. Thus, either the airbag malfuntioned and failed to deploy, or it is designed improperly. If there were ever a situation that warranted a side airbag to deploy, this accident presents those facts.
