Air Bag Not Deploy problems of the 2001 Mazda Tribute

A woman in front of me slammed on her brakes so I slammed on my brakes, my brakes locked and I crashed into her, head on, going approximately 35-40 mph. My air bags did not deploy.

: the contact stated the airbags did not deploy when the vehicle rear ended another vehicle. This occurred at 60 mph while braking. There was a police report taken at the scene. Although the seat belt was worn, the contact sustained 7 broken ribs. The vehicle was taken to a body shop and the front end is being repaired. The dealership determined the airbags did not deploy because the impact was too high on the vehicle.

While driving 20mph, t-boned another vehicle and airbags did not deploy. Frontal impact, driver injured.

On the above mentioned date, this vehicle was involved in a frontal collision. No serious injuries resulted although the driver of this vehicle was treated and released for bruising in the chest area. Both driver and passenger were wearing seat belts. Even though the damage was $12,800, entirely to the front end of the vehicle, neither air bag deployed. I can supply photos and damage estimate report if needed. I am very happy that no serious injuries resulted, but I am not comfortable that vthis system is safe or operable. If the damage almost resulted in a total loss, all in the front end, and the airbags did not deploy, I am not sure that they are on the vehicle, or are operable.
