1 Air Bag Not Deploy problem

Failure Date: 01/16/2023

I was driving and slid off the road at a corner, when I impacted a tree, the airbag didnt deploy, although the vehicle immediately called 911. Curerntly the vehicle is at a chevy dealer waiting for insurance to finalize paperwork for a total loss. It can be inspected if requested. I cannot find someone to look at the failure without cost to myself. I feel that the airbag should have deployed due to the fact that the bumper was shoved into the engine , and the front of the vehicle was destroyed on impact. The insurance looked at vehicle, and did not feel the airbag deployment was worthy of investigating. The police did not inspect anything. No warning lamps or service indicators were lit prior to impact. I contacted the manufacturer, and they stated id have to take the vehicle to a dealer for diagnostic. The insurance refused to send the vehicle to Ford. I have neck strain and pain after the accident, and feel that had it deployed, I would be in much better shape. If the airbag deployment is set too high for impacts, then they are useless to prevent injury.
