Air Bag Not Deploy problems of the 1996 Saturn SL1

While pulling into a gas station the left front tire struck the curb and the drivers side air bag deployed but the passenger side did not. The mechanic cut the air bag out of steering wheel and showed consumer that the air bag had obviously not deployed correctly, half of the air bag had stayed inside the steering wheel. The half that was stuck in the steering wheel looked like it had been burned and melted together. Consumer feels this was a defective air bag or its deployment system was faulty, and she thinks it is the responsibility of Saturn to replace it at no cost.

All vehicle doors came open upon impact, owner lost control, fishtailed on gravel road, skidded, hit ditch/embankment, vehicle flipped over. Also, dual airbags did not deploy, vehicle totaled. Seatbelts saved driver's/passenger's lives, owner will include VIN.
