1 Air Bag Not Deploy problem

Failure Date: 11/08/2014

I was in a bumper to bumper accident and the front end of my car was smooched in. My chest hit the steering wheel (my seat belt was buckled) knocking the air out of me, but my airbags did not deploy. We have taken our car into the dealership several times to complain about the passenger airbag sensor. Every time we get it back we get the same answer "we don't see anything wrong with the sensor". We recently took our car in 2 weeks prior to the accident and we asked them if our car was on the air bag recall list that was all over the news. They told us not to worry about anything because our car was not on that list. I ended up in urgent care after the accident with muscles spasms and a bruised chest. Why didn't my airbags go off?!.

2 Air Bag Not Deploy problem

Failure Date: 08/09/2014

I was involved in a collision with a 2014 Dodge ram and it was a front impact collision. My car was totalled ( the impact even crumbled the rear quarter panel) but the airbag on the driver's side did not deploy. The repair company was confused with the amount of damage to my vehicle and the airbag did not deploy. Ii sustained injuries to my neck, back and left side. I still have back pain but I'm getting better. Confused as to why the airbag did not deploy.

3 Air Bag Not Deploy problem

Failure Date: 01/30/2014

I had noticed that regardless of occupancy, the passenger side airbag indicator never lit up after initial testing on start-up. In late Jan 2014, I was t-boned on passenger side by mercedes whose speed was such that his airbag did not deploy. Even though I had no one with me occupying my passenger seat, the side curtain and seat bag deployed, adding many hundreds of dollars to repair.

Passenger seat airbag sensor does not work properly . . . No matter the weight of the passenger up to 240 the airbag light remains disabled. . . . Concerned with the safety of my passengers considering airbag will not deploy.
