Air Bag problem #1

I got to work and put the car in park and turned the motor off. A CO-worker showed up, I was talking to him when I heard a loud bang, by the time I looked the driver side curtain air bag deployed. I lifted my arm up to cover my face. It burnt my left side arm and bruised my face.

Air Bag Not Deploy problem #2

This car we own was in a accident the whole front end was pushed in cause it hit a Mercury mountaineer. The geico adjuster couldnt beleive that the airbags did not deploy nor the seatbelt retracted! the only thing that saved my wife was the seatbelt for a sec and hitting the steering wheel. The adjuster also had said that the sensors for the air bags were tripped and it did not work. This is a huge safety issue! geico is filing a subrogation claim against Mitsubishi since we called mistsubishi and they didnt want to do anything about it. Marias at mistubishi just said to file a claim with our insurance without even sending their own people to check out the vehicle. Marieas can be reached at 18886487820 claim number 1254613189. He didnt even have the courtesy to send his own investigators to find out what happened! the whole front end of the Mitsubishi Lancer was pushed in and was pronounce a total loss from geico. Geico's examiner was jose mejia 3053079614. Something needs to be done about this before someone gets killed! my wife at time of accident was on her way home on highway 874 southbound.
