Front Air Bag Sensor Control problems of the 2008 Dodge Durango

Going west on hwy 20 blew left front tire took me into a tree. Hit it just left of center broke front bumper in half, pushed frontend into engine block. It was repaired. I had cruise control on doing 65 and driving at night around 9pm. I do not remember hitting the tree and was not injured accept for the memory of it. The body shop told me they would not deploy due to the placement of the sensors. In doing research on this people have t-boned another car at speeds well above the 25 mph Dodge says it takes to have airbags deploy, and there's did not go off. Really. How do we hold the automakers liable for something like this. Class actions only get the lawyers rich.
