My son was in an accident he rear ended his friends car going about 30 mph. The car is totaled and the air bag never went off! he can’t remember if he hit his head or not he said he blacked out for a few mins. He sustained neck and back injuries and a concussion. He was wearing his seatbelt. None of the airbags went off.

Airbags didn't go off in a serious crash. Hit a ditch going 40mph and rolled several times.

While driving my car one morning I hit a patch of ice going 35mph in a 40mph zone. Upon hitting the ice my car swerved and I overcorrected, causing the car to jerk off of the road and flip onto its top, all while taking out a telephone pole in the process. Thankfully no one was injured and there was no property damage other than the car and telephone pole. However, not a single airbag in the 2014 Hyundai Accent deployed during the accident. Every single one was intact when the car ceased motion. Again, I took out a telephone pole, so I expect that my airbags would have been there to buffer had I been jerked forward or sideways. To my understanding airbags deploy generally between 16 and 30 mph so I find it odd that they did not.

Takata recall while driving the car I would notice that the streering wheel would sway to the right or left instead of being firmly it seemed as if it was not stable enough. I went to the dealer on several occasions but, they couldn't find anything wrong with it. In November 2016 there was a crash from a dui individual and the car was totaled. For the level of impact; all the airbags on the left side should have deployed. But, they didn't. I did file a complain with the car manufacturer but, they said since the initial impact was not velocity to deploy the airbags, they couldn't do anything about it.
