As I was driving home from work I accidentally went through a red light and t-boned the other car. Although no one was hurt,there was extensive damage to both cars. My concern is the airbags never went off. I have always thought this was strange. Now that I'm hearing about the Impala recall due to faulty airbags it raises more concerns, because now this is my sons car. My understanding is the 2000 Impala's are not part of the recall but maybe they should be. There is absolutely no reason those airbags should not have deployed. Now I'm am concerned if my son is ever in an accident he will not have the airbags as a safety net. Should the 2000 Impala's be part of the recall also?.
