1 Front Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 07/04/1999

My vehicle ran head-on into the side of a car that ran a stop sign. My car was so damaged that the insurance adjustor "totaled" it. The impact was so severe that I, the driver, sustained a fracture of the sternum (I was wearing a seat belt with shoulder harness). The air bags of my car did not go off, but the air bags of the car I hit did go off. On impact the brake mastercylinder with the power assist unit was broken off the fire wall by the abs module. Therefore I did not have any brakes and rolled for another 300 feet before coming to rest against a tree in the lower shoulder of the road.
