The whole front end crunched like a can and my airbags did not deploy. I need to know why they di not deploy. When I purchased the car it was one of the safety features I thought I would have.

16 Air Bag Not Deploy problem

My dashboard light showing a problem with the airbag system went on. I took the car to a dealer for a diagnosis. They charged me $55. 20. For the diagnosis and told me that the air bag on the passenger side had increased pressure and the system shut down. Neither airbag would deploy if I was in an accident. The charge to fix it was $1200 and it was not still under warrantee. I spoke with their customer service rep in chicago and he offred me $300 toward the repair and I then spoke to their customer service manager who uped the offer to half - $600. Everyone acknowledges that the system is a static system and there has been no wear and tear on the system. All involved say they have not seen it happen before, but they will not fix it under warrantee. The customer service manager told me it was because airbags are not a mandated safety item. This car has not been in an accident. The air bags have never deployed. There is no reason for the system to stop working, but it did. One other note is that the mileage reading on this car is 47147, however, the true mileage is approximately 62,000. The speedometer with the odometer had to be replaced at 16,000 miles because it malfunctioned.
