Air Bag Not Deploy problem #1

: the contact stated the vehicle was involved in a collision and the airbags did not deploy. The contact was stopped in the center lane, when another vehicle attempted to get into the same lane. The contact's vehicle was hit on the front passenger side fender causing the vehicle to flip completely over and landed right side up. The contact sustained head and arm injuries and a police report was taken. All occupants were wearing their seatbelts. The airbag warning light was not illuminated prior to the crash. There were pictures available and the vehicle was deemed totaled.

Air Bag problem #2

My 18 year old son had an accident. He rolled the van multiple times, hit trees ,damaged all sides, and roof of the van. The only door that would easily open was the drivers door. The front axle broke, windshield broken. The insurance appraiser said all panels were damaged and could not believe none of the air bags opened. The Saturn Relay 2006 was a total loss.
