1 Front Air Bag Sensor Control problem

Failure Date: 03/07/2019

On 3/7/2019, I totaled my car as I was t-boned. This accident broke my axle, and dented in my drivers side rear door to the point where I could not open it. My 5 year old daughter was in the backseat and smacked her face off of the seat and window bruising the whole side of her face and giving her a black eye. For some reason, no airbag was deployed. I was hopeful at first, that maybe it didn't deploy since it was a "small" accident, but now that the car is deemed a total loss, I feel like something is obviously wrong with this situation. When I was t-boned, I was driving through a stop sign (after making my stop) to which I did not see a car on the other side of a car turning towards me. This car was going approx 30-40 mph (if following street signs). This car's airbags deployed, yet my daughters, on her door, failed to deploy. This car did not hit me until I was almost to the other side of the street. I also saw her at the last minute and instead of breaking (a normal reaction) I tried to speed up to avoid the accident. If the safety information online is correct, it states that the airbag sensor for the side-rear impact is between the tire and the rear door, which is exactly where I was hit.
