Air Bag Not Deploy problems of the 2004 Jaguar X-type

I have a 2004 X-type Jaguar and the air bag light on the drivers side will not go off. I had it checked out only to find out that should I get in an accident the air bag will not deploy. The dealership wants around $1500. 00 to repair it. I am hoping it is a recall.

I was involved in what ultimately could have been a catastrophic accident while driving my 2004 Jaguar X-type. I was driving through an intersection at about 20 mph, when a 2006 chevy impala hit me doing about 50 mph. The impala slammed into my right front quarter panel and passenger door. Hitting me so hard my car tilted up into the air. (I thought I was going to roll,) when my car landed back on all four wheels, I was hit again in the right rear quarter panel. I was then pushed into a telephone pole. Almost dead center of my steering wheel. Needless to say, both cars were totaled due to massive damage. The only air bag that deployed was the passenger dash airbag. I was slammed into the steering wheel twice. The drivers airbag did not deploy. Neither did the passenger side airbag, despite being hit twice on the passenger side. If I had been an elderly or less physically fit person I very possibly could have been killed. I called Jaguar for an explanation, and was repeatedly blown off.

While driving consumer noticed a parked vehicle on the highway. Consumer tried to avoid hitting the vehicle by making a right turn onto the shoulder, but steering wheel failed. Consumer applied the brakes and pedal went to the floor. Consumer's vehicle collided with the other vehicle. It flipped over three times and landed in a ditch. Upon impact, driver's side air bag did not deploy, but passenger's side air bag deployed. Driver and passenger sustained head and back injuries, and were transported to the hospital by ambulance. Vehicle was towed and totaled by the insurance company.
