1 Air Bag Not Deploy problem

Failure Date: 04/08/2019

"takata recall" I was in a car accident on 4/8/19 it did not involve another vehicle. It was raining and I was coming off the highway to my exit and looked to my left to see if I was able to merge, when I did my right tire hit the side of some wet grass and when it did my car started spinning outta control and I ended up hitting a palm tree straight on. My air bag did not deploy and I ended up with a broken back in 2 places. I had 2 have 2 surgery's thus far. I had my seat belt on. The impact was hard enough for the bags to deploy but they didn't. The doctor said if my air bags would of deployed I would not have suffered a broken back. Its caused me lots of pain and suffering due to broken back and loss of a new job I was about to start the next day. The attached photos show the driver side where I hit and shows no air bag in site.

2 Air Bag Not Deploy problem

Failure Date: 04/09/2015

I purchased this vehicle used in December 2014, the very first night driving it home, the engine would nit start. I immediately called the dealer, took the car back and watched as they ran a diagnostic. Nothing was wrong with it. I did some research and it seems to be a normal issue with the make and model. Then I noticed the faulty gas guage, reading low fuel then all of a sudden I have gas. Again, contacted the dealer, took it back and yet again, diagnostic ran with clear readings. I looked up thaylt issue and of course, complaints about the same issue were common. Finally, on April 9th I was on my way home and was involved in an accident. It was a front impact accident which totaled the vehicle. The air bags failed to deploy. The windshield was completely shattered, glass flew everywhere. After the front impact, the vehicle rolled over then landed on on the passengers side. How is it safe to have multiple complaints about serious issues and nothing be done about it by the manufactures! I almost lost my life due to the airbags failing which is a, yet again, a common complaint!.
