1) I was driving south down the road at 25-30 mph, and another car was waiting to pull out of a parking lot on my right, he was going to turn left (north). - he says he didn't see me and pulled out in front of me and I t-boned him. 2)his airbags deployed, but mine did not. The accident was significant enough that they should have deployed. 3) nothing has been done to correct the failure, the car is going to the body shop today.
I was traveling at 30-34 mph and a intrepid pulled out in front of me and I slammed head on to her driver's side front tire. My seat belts didn't lock resulting in me hitting my chest on the steering wheel and my son in the back seat to hit his head on the back of the passenger front seat. My airbags didn't deploy resulting in my pelvic bone to shift and me to receive whiplash and a buldge in my lower back. The impact of the crash resulted in my car being totaled.
I was driving down a street in my 2002 Mitsubishi Lancer and as I approached a green light I noticed that the driver of an Acura was not stopping for his red light. I slammed on the brakes but unfortunately I hit the passenger side of his car. The accedent caused my car to turn 90 degrees to the right. I got out of my vehicle after checking on my passenger and thats when I realized that the airbags in my vehicle didn't deploy. My passenger and I were both injured and are being treated for injuries. I am not very happy with the performance of my vehicle in that it failed to provide the protection that the airbags were designed to provide. If the airbags had deployed my passenger and I wouldn't have been thrown around like ragdolls in the vehicle. My car was totaled as a result of the accident.
Consumer was involved in a single car head-on collision into a ditch. Neither the front driver or passenger air bags deployed.
While driving at 30mph during a head on collision,none of the air bags deployed.
