In November of 2015 I was involved in a car accident in which I hit a deer doing roughly 75 miles per hour head on and the airbag did not deploy!.
The contact owns a 2006 Chrysler pt cruise. The contact stated that while driving at approximately 35 mph, another vehicle pulled in front of the vehicle. As a result, the contact crashed into the vehicle. The air bags failed to deploy. The contact sustained leg, chest, back and head injuries that required medical attention. A police report was filed.

We were rear ended while on vacation. The car was driveable and it was put in the shop for repairs. The other person was at fault. When we got the car back we noticed that the airbag light would stay on for a minute or two and then go off. This continues to happen. The car repair shop checked seat belts and such. The air bags did not deploy as this was a rear end collision. I feel like this is a safety hazard. The repair shop has had to repair work that was not done right. Could they have messed up the codes as the temp does not work right. ? were the airbags damaged ? the estimated speed he hit us was 35mph. We both got cervical sprain and mine is worse.

Driver suffered a diabetic hypoglycemic incident and ran off the road and collided with a guard rail. The accident was a frontal impact that resulted in significant damage to the front bumper, fenders, engine compartment, suspension, and frame. The accident damaged approximately 40' of guard rail, including the end section. During the accident, the air bags did not deploy. The vehicle has a history of intermittent air bag warning light activation, and has undergone replacement of several key components of the control system (I. E. Srs module, clockspring in steering column, and wiring harness under front passenger seat). The vehicle speed at the time of the accident is unknown, but estimated at less than 40mph. Weather was clear, sunny. Traffic was none to light conditions. Road conditions were excellent. Driver suffered minor whiplash neck injury and was treated/released for the hospital emergency department. Should the air bags have deployed in this type of accident? did the prior issues and repairs of the air bag control system have any effect on the air bags not deploying? did the vehicle frontal crush zone and the impact attenuation of the guard rail system affect the deceleration of the vehicle to the point where the air bags did not need to deploy? internet research of the air bag warning light issue (unconfirmed blog-type entries) indicates that other vehicles of this make, model and year (including 1 - 2 prior model years) have been involved in front end collisions where the air bags did not deploy.

I was driving my 2006 Pt Cruiser and a girl driving a grand cherokee Jeep ran a stop sign and hit me in the driver side front fender and driver door. My three children were in the car with me. The impact flipped my car 3 or more times landing us on the drivers side. Neither of airbags deployed from the impact. I was driving at approximately 45 mph and she was coming down a hill to the stop sign but showed no sign of slowing down. Her speed was probably around 50 mph. The point of contact was at the drivers door and fender and it was crushed. The car was a total loss. I have a neck injury from the whiplash and the flipping of the car and not sure at this point if it will ever get better. It has been 7 mths. I believe Chrysler should be made liable for the airbags not deploying with such an impact as we had.

On my 2006 Chrysler Pt Cruiser, the brakes and wheels locked up when I had to stop to avoid hitting a truck who had slowed to make a left turn. Air bags did not deploy either, even though I hit the truck at approximately 50 mph and had major damage to front of my vehicle.
On oct. 19,2007,I was involved in a head-on collision at a speed of 30mph. I struck the steering wheel which caused me neck and shoulder pain along with some bruising. The air bags never deployed. The car is a total loss with over $10,000 in damages and the air bags did not deploy. That does not sit well with me.
I was in an accident on 2/24/07 in which a lady ran a red light and hit the front end of my 2006 Pt Cruiser at maybe 30 mph. I hit my head forcefully against the driver panel near the windshield in which my air bag did not deploy and I sustain head injury with loss of consciousness. I now have a hematoma with a black eye, severe head aches, severe neck and shoulder pain, and some dizziness throughout the day, I am also suffering from painful body aches including but not limited to my lower back and knees, towing and paramedics were confused as to why my air bag did not deploy, also the sensor has been activated and I was told that I could be driving and without notice these bags can deploy if the car if fixable, I am afraid, I have 2 children who rides with me in this car. How my times has this happen and are there any complaints about this from other owner of this type of car?????.
