The airbags failed to deploy when I was in an accident. I t-boned another vehicle at approximately 35 mph, when they turned into my path. I hit the car squarely in the rear passenger door. Both vehicles came to rest 90+ degrees clockwise from the direction we were traveling. The plastic front bumper, grill, fenders, and inner fenders were destroyed. The right side front tire of my Nitro was pushed back about 3" from its normal position. The center support of the bumper was broken and pushed about 12" into the radiator. I am sure there is a defect that prevented the air bags from working.

Takata recall on 9-6-2012 my husband was involved in a car accident not his fault. He was the 3rd car in right hand lane heading east at a stoplight with cars in the next lane also at the stoplight next to him, a truck hit him going about 55-65 mph and his head hit the steering wheel causing him to have injuries requiring lifeflight to a trauma center in houston, TX. He had a brain injury and required 124 stitches in his mouth and a severed spleen. He had a brain bleed and it never fully went away. Many visits to the neurosurgeon and cat scans followed for a year. He was never able to go back to work. He was 65 at the time and was a correctional officer at texas dept of criminal justice. His personality changed due to the pain he suffered and he died 7-2-17 with headaches and a brain bleed going on. His air bags never deployed in the accident. Our life changed significantly and I went back to work after retirement to meet our responsibilities. My pictures will not upload. 20171025.
