| Description of the problem | My car has been in two accident one was yesterday when a deer jumped out in front of my car on the highway and i hit her straight on going about 55 miles per hour. The front of my car is destroyed but yet my air bags never went off. The first accident i was in was in the winter and a car plowed into me as i pulled over because i noticed she was out of control, she was coming down a large hill and was going at a high speed when she hit the drive side back door which caved in and the door was in the back seat. The back end frame of my car needed to be replaced. I was upset thinking what if one of my children was in the car with me but i was told the reason the airbags didn't go off because it wasn't a flat hit to the side of my car. Someone is going to get killed if these airbags don't go off when they should. |
