I was involved in an accident on the highway and my airbags failed to deploy.
I was involved in a head on collision with another vehicle where my airbags failed to deploy. Later upon calling in a airbag specialist, they ran diagnostics and found that both the front right and front left airbag sensors had malfunctioned. This was then backed up by the Mitsubishi dealership. I still suffer from my head injury to this day.
