While consumer's son was driving at 35 mph at 11pm and raining night applied brakes and lost control, vehicle hit a telephone pole and neither air bags deployed.
While driving the vehicle at 45mph was involved in a front collision and neither of the air bag deploy.
While driving at 60-65mph, vehicle was involved in a frontal collision, and none of the air bags deployed upon impact. This resulted in the driver hitting his head on steering wheel. Please provide more details.
At approximately 35mph t vehicle was hit head-on, caving in front end. Upon impact, air bags didn't deploy, forcing consumer forward with enough impact to bend steering wheel.
Consumer was sitting still, about to make a left turn and another vehicle came head-on traveling 35mph. Airbags didn't deploy. Dealer wanted to cehck vehicle before claim was submitted. Dealer wasn't offering a loaner vehicle.
I was very suprised to see that when I did hit the car in front of me the air bags did not come out or deploy, our seatbelts did not lock. No one was hurt. God forbid this to happen again because I don't know if the air bags will come out the next time or that the seatbelt will lock up. I was going about 75 mph on interstate 45 between parker and crosstimbers, there was an accident that occured on the shoulder-I was in the left lane and all of a sudden everyone started braking. I felt I stopped in enough time. I slammed on the brakes and slid a great distance before hitting the minivan in front of me. A scratch on the black bumper is all that happened to the minivan. If I pressed on the brakes, why didn't the seat belts lock, why didn't the airbag come out? I don't know.
Consumer was traveling about 65mph on highway when a dog ran in front of vehicle in traffic and she veered into another vehicle, causing an accident. Consumer's head hit steering wheel, and she lost control, and went into an enbankment. Vehicle fliiped twice. Upon impact, dual airbags didn't deploy, and consumer suffered head injuries.
On a main street while driving approximately 25-30 mph, a vehicle ahead of the consumer's vehicle had stopped to turn left and consumer rear ended the vehicle in front. Upon impact, neither airbag deployed. Driver's side automatic seat belt didn't lock.
