4 Side/window Air Bag problem of the 2010 Kia Motor Soul

Failure Date: 09/09/2010

09/09/2010 I was t-boned in a 2010 kia Soul with 1822 miles on the odometer. The car that hit me was a murano going 45 mph. The impact was on the diver side quarter panel and driver door. I sustained a concussion from hitting the driver side window and some spectacular bruising on my left arm and shoulder. Not one of the six airbags deployed. I purchased this car because of the safety rating and the number of airbags. Today 01/16/2011 the car is still in the shop. Repairs have been a nightmare. The front driver side wheel was bent parallel to the ground. I am not a happy camper.
