1 Air Bag Not Deploy problem

Car stopped in front of me, was room to stop in time, however abs system kicked in & prevented vehicle from stopping - it only slowed it down. Road was clear & dry, no need for abs brakes. Brake pads & rear rotors were less than 3 weeks old & front tires were only 3 days old at time of accident. Tested brakes by removing abs fuse & car stops great - fault in abs system. Also, air bags did not deploy, but air bag warning light on dash came on solid red & stays on at all times now. Accident was caused by abs system improper setup or manufacturer.
