2 Air Bag Not Deploy problem

Failure Date: 03/06/2018

"takata recall" ? in March 2018, I was traveling westbound in a Mazda Cx-5 on an expressway in long island, new york. It was approximately 9;45 pm and the expressway was fairly empty, roads were completely clear, no rain, no snow. Out of nowhere, a speeding driver slammed into the back of my Mazda at a very high rate of speed. (she admitted to following me too closely and not being able to stop in time, so my car was hit pretty hard. On police report, she was cited for unsafe speed among other things. I was also informed the a police officer that she did not have a driver's license). My car was then thrust into the divider (where the left side approximate corner of the front of the car hit the median) in the middle of the expressway and spun quite a few times. None of the airbags ever deployed. I hit my head at least two times and I starting having neck and back pains among other injuries. Though the car had extensive extensive damages (13k was the last time I heard and the car is still not working fully properly) my insurance progressive forced me to take the car back while the other insurance company doesn't understand why the car was not totaled. I was given back the car a little over two whole months after the accident and I was told the airbags will not deploy if god forbid something else happens (the airbag light is blinking all the time), the horn does not work, and nothing on the steering wheel controls work anymore. I was told I have to bring this to Mazda's dealership directly for diagnostics. I have been told by many people that they believe my airbags malfunctioned including maximum auto body in bohemia who fixed the car and I agree considering the hard hits the car took and my injuries. I am not sure what my rights are in this situation but I feel this car is not safe. I now have to wait until June 4th to get it to the Mazda dealership.
