14 Air Bag Not Deploy problem of the 2007 Lexus RX350

Failure Date: 10/28/2015

My car is used to drop off and pick up children from school and grocery shopping, and it has never been in an accident; however, one day I had just got in the car and started it up (my adult son was in passenger seat) and the air bag light came on my dash and the passenger air bag light shows it is not on. My son weighs almost 200 pounds. We even had him get out of the car and sit back down again, thinking the seat didn't register for some reason, but nothing changed. This is a serious safety issue, as if ever involved in a crash, the airbag will not deploy to protect any passenger sitting in the front seat. Also, the dash of my car is cracking and huge spider web cracks have now begun to take over the dash on both passenger and driver side. I keep it garage most of the time so have no idea why this has started happening either. Can send photos if they are needed, just let me know.

Failure Date: 02/24/2013

We were stopped for a red light in a left turn lane. At 9;30 at night the light is slow to change. In about 2 minutes it turned green. I could see cars stopping in the lanes. I pulled out only to be hit by another vehicle in the front end. Fhp estimated his speed at 50mph. My airbags did not deploy. Our seat belts never gave an inch in the crash, keeping us back against the seat. The vehicle was a total loss. The impact crushed items back to the fire wall. On the left side(sitting in the vehicle) where the battery sits, the police, nor the ims could understand why the air bags did not deploy. Was the crash so hard and fierce, the system was bypassed somehow? the injuries we suffered were severe chest pain from the seat belt and my right hand jammed into something, breaking small blood vessels and swelling. This is March 16 and I am still experiencing discomfort in the hand. When you look at the car, it is a small miracle we did not receive greater injuries. We thank our god and his son, jesus, for that. You have to take your hat off to those seat belts, too. Can someone come up with a good reason the seat belts did not work. I have several photos of the vehicle. I cannot find the VIN number.
