Air Bag Not Deploy problem #1

The car was in an accident and the air bags never deployed on the driver side or the passenger side. Nothing was done to fix it . The car now has to have the whole front end fixed and need to have them checked to see why they didn't deploy.

Air Bag Not Deploy problem #2

During a frontal-impact accident, the driver airbag failed to deploy until after I hit the steering wheel. I then saw the passenger airbag deploy. Neither the seat belt nor the airbag stopped me from hitting the steering wheel causing chest wall contusions and muscle strains in chest and back. I'm still out of work due to the injuries. The car was totaled.
