Side/window Air Bag problems of the 2001 Mercedes Benz CLK320

I was hit in the driver side door and my air bag did not deploy. Mercedes sent out a technical team who found that the airbag operated properly. They said I got hit too low but I was hit by a Ford work van whose bumper is 27" up. There is not an inch of that door that is not caved in. I was hit so hard I was pushed across the intersection and up on a curb. My seat and console were moved over. I don't think I can safely repair and use or resell the car due to the airbag defect.

I was hit by a Ford e350 Ford work van in the drivers side door. My airbag did not deploy causing injury to my shoulder from the door buckling into me and moving my seat and console over. All professionals that see this car are very surprised I am not critically injured or dead. Mercedes-benz sent a technical team to inspect the vehicle and found the airbag operated properly. They said the vehicle was hit beneath the airbag and the van starts at 27" off the ground. There is not an inch of that door that is not caved in. Car has not been repaired because we are convinced it has a major defect and is unsafe to be legally put back on the road and I am concerned the rest of the airbags will not work. Old door is still on car and still unable to open at all.
