Volvo s-80 airbag failure in a severe crash. 2000 Volvo s-80 involved in a single car accident (driver was the only occupant). Went off road at 55+mph, spun into a ditch hit the side of a mountain, tossed back across the road and landed in the median. Totaled the car. Although the side curtain, side impact (in driver side seat) and passenger front airbags deployed, the main driver airbag in the steering wheel did not deploy. Multiple minor injuries; unknown if any will turn out to be serious.
I was hit on the drivers door side at a speed of about 25-30mph and my air bag did not go off. I sustained injuries in this accident. And I feel after my door had to be replaced and there was damage to my left fender and the strut was bent and needed to be replaced. I feel the air bag should have opened. I feel unsafe in this car. Please advise.
There was a huge side impact with another vehicle. At the time of impact none of the airbags deployed. There were three people injured during the accident.
