Driver suffered abdominal/ leg , and neck injuries; front passenger suffered neck and hand injuries; and rear passenger suffered right knee and arm injuries. All received emergency treatment and released.

Was involved in a head on collision with another vehicle traveling at 50mph and I was traveling at 50mph. The other car was totalled and my car is significantly damaged 50% of the front of the car and to the driver side door. Due to the newness of this car and minimal crash test information available, I am extremely concerned that the airbags did not deploy. I feel they should have and demand diagnostic testing and proof that the srs is functioning properly. Most crash testing is performed at 30mph at which they do deploy. How do I get reassurance that this vehicle is safe and not malfunctioning?.
