Airbag failed to deploy upon frontal collision, vehicle moving straight ahead on neighborhood street. .
On Nov. 6, 2007 I was the last vehicle in a four car pile-up. The Honda in front of me was totaled and my 2005 Lexus Es330 had over $10,000 in damage. My concern is that the air bags did not deploy. With such significant damage I was sure they would have protected me but they did not. I am concerned there may be a problem and I will not be protected in the future.

An investigation was performed by Lexus and he received a letter stating that they do not have to provide him with any of the crash information.
