| Side/window Air Bag problems |
The contact vehicle was involved in a accident last night like in the center of vehicle. Consumer's vehicle was equipped with side air bags, and neither one of the side air bags deployed. He said the vehicle was hit pretty hard and they should have deployed. The dealer told him that the air bags could deploy if hit in different positions, and that maybe was the reason why they did not deploy. Manufacturer said pretty much the same thing, and that they would look into it. Also, manufacturer said that it could have been the air bags messed up, and they were going to do an investigation. The contact does not feel safe in the vehicle since the air bags did not deploy.
