1 Front Air Bag Sensor Control problem

Failure Date: 03/30/2005

March 30th I was involved in an accident, a lady pulled accross traffic and I had no time to stop, needless to say I slammed into her drivers side door at about 30mph. The entire front end of my kia sprortage was damaged with about $6700 in damages and the air bags didn't deploy and myself and my passengers were in our seat belts but badly bruised and thrown about. I was informed by kia that I didn't hit the sensors . . . Ok the whole front end was gone where exactly are the sensors? I don't feel safe in the car and my children are in it , please can some one tell me what to do? I feel that I'm stuck with a vehichle that isn't safe and I don't seem to have any recourse. Thank you for your time.
