| Air Bag Not Deploy problems |
Accident that resulted in the car being declared total loss. The car was hit in the upper front and side area of drivers side. During the accident the air bags did not deploy. Resulted in injuries, of course. The car was making left handed turn from residential area onto a busy main street. And the other vehicle was not paying attention and hit the car while it was trying to turn. The car was going approximately 15-20 mph. The other vehicle was going 40-45 mph. What would cause the air bags to malfunction?? because I would love to know why injuries had to even occur since they only happened due to the malfunction of the air bags.
