2012 Fiat 500 Air Bags Problems, Complaints and Defects

Description of the problem	My 2012 fiat 500 vehicle was moving @ 55mph on cruise control when it experienced a crash with another vehicle that pulled across its path. The fiat struck other the vehicle broadside near the rear of the other vehicle with right half of front of fiat. Fiat then pitched to the right and then rolled (side to roof) twice landing finally on its wheels. As the driver, i assure you i feel lucky to be alive. However, not even one single airbag in the fiat deployed --- not the driver's airbag, not the passenger airbag, not the side air bags, not the rear head air bag and not the side head curtain air bags. There have never been any air bag warning lights illuminated on this fiat. This fiat has always been serviced at a fca/chrysler dealership. There has never been any mention of any air bag problems by any of the service personnel who have serviced the vehicle during any of the service visits. Part of my decision to buy this particular vehicle instead of another compact car was the vehicles abundance of air bags and 4 and 5 star overall, frontal, side and rollover crash ratings. If the airbags do not deploy on these vehicles, i do not think the safety rating can be considered correct. . Updated 07/21/15 bf updated 9/22/2015 js
