2 Air Bag problem

Pulling into parking space car accelerated and hit tree. Air bags did not inflate and satellite did not notify police. Could not stop vehicle. Myself and 2 other people were injured. Similar situation happened earlier this year when vehicle would not stop, struck car in front of me, air bags did not inflate and satellite did not notify police. In both instances there was extensive damage to my vehicle, the most recent over $20,000. The car is still in repair shop 4 weeks after accident. I am afraid to drive the car because I am fearful the same thing will happen.
