Air Bag Not Deploy problems of the 1997 Chevrolet Malibu

Leaving my subdivision trying to make a left turn when I was hit on the driver's side passenger door, just shy of the driver's door. Side airbags did not deploy. Therefore, onstar did not contact me. I rec'd injuries and had to be transfered to hospital. Car was totalled. Person that hit me was goinf at least 45-55 mph.

The contact owns a 1997 Chevrolet Malibu. The contact stated that while driving approximately 50 mph, the frame separated from the vehicle causing it to flip and crash into a tree. The air bags failed to deploy. A police report was not filed. The contact sustained head and neck injuries which required medical attention. The vehicle was destroyed. The manufacturer was not notified of the issue. The failure mileage was 50,000.

Sitting at a red light in a complete stopped position the car rolled forward with the brake still being depressed and completely went to the floor as I quickly tried to pump the brakes to stop and an oncoming vehicle struck me. Troopers and other personal checked my brakes at the time of the accident and said that there wasn't any brakes. No brake problems had been experienced prior to this. I was severely struck by the other vehicle which completely turned the direction of my vehicle and caused total damage resulting in a total loss. The impact was so hard, the other drive was cited for his high-speed hit to my vehicle. The airbags never deployed and is a great concern of mine at this point in time as well as the brake failure. I received notice in December 2007 from gm that there was a settlement of a pending district court case (delmas Ford, el al. V. General motors corporation, case no. Cj-2002-424) which meant that my vehicle had to be sean by a authorized chevy dealer to have the 1997 chevy Malibu's sensing and diagnostic module reprogrammed. This referred to TSB #07-09-41-006 dated August 2007. I had the vehicle seen as soon as there was an open appointment on January 7, 2008 at randy marion Chevrolet pontiac Buick. So, upon this accident today, I am without a vehicle due to brake failure after already have them replaced within the last four months as well as failure of the airbags to deploy. I am also contacting an attorney in regard to this matter. I understand there were other accidents involving this issue of the airbags deploying at odd times. After a notice of settlement of this case and having the vehicle airbags checked and fixed as indicated, I am a fearful and concerned consumer of this incident as I have total vehicle loss and sufficient damages. You would think that the airbags would definitely work. . . . . . . They didn't deploy at all as well as the brakes letting go mid stoplight.
