I was involved in a motor vehicle accident on 1/28/20 where I sustained a direct, front impact collision, and the airbags failed to deploy. I was in motion on a city street, accelerating forward through a green-lit intersection when a large Dodge ram truck turned in front of me causing our vehicles to collide. The impact was so heavy that it caused my body to project forward and upwards. My son's glasses flew off his face and all cups in cup holders flew across the car. My son complained of the seatbelt hurting his shoulder, and I sustained bruises on my legs and arms. Upon this impact, no airbags were deployed. This car was determined by the adjuster to be a total loss. The insurance investigator stated he was �shocked� the airbags did not deploy on such a �gnarly� collision. The insurance adjuster reported that he was �flabbergasted� the airbags did not deploy due to the severity of the impact.
We were involved in a motor vehicle accident on 01/25/2020 where we experienced a front impact collision, and the airbags did not deploy. We were in motion in the left turning lane of a two lane road, the adverse vehicle pulled out from a parking lot on the right, crossed two lanes of traffic right into the front of our vehicle causing us to collide. The force of the collision was so hard that the engine mount on the top side has broken away from the engine, I projected forward and my glasses flew from my face. My wife and I have bumps and bruises, issues with our backs, shoulder and wrist pain. During the imppact the airbags failed to deploy. The insurance adjuster has declared the vehicle a total loss. When we spoke with the body shop they stated that they could not believe that the airbags did not go off with this type of impact.
Recently involved in an accident when going in reverse. The srs alarm malfunctioned and the airbags did not deploy. The reverse braking system did not indicated that I was close to the object.
