Description of the problem	On saturday march 26th, 2018 i wss driving north bound on i471 in kentucky. Doing about 50-55 mph while it was snowing/sleeting outside. As i was traveling another vehicle swerved over to get in exit lane while at same time on a right turn around exit lane. Once car did so, i had to press hard, slam on my brakes to avoid being clipped by other vehicle. As i did this i began to spin nor, the esc or traction control took over and i spun out of control striking guard rail at unknown speed. I was uninjured, however as u can see lots of damage to front and driver side airbag did not deploy. I contacted kia right away do to the recent recalling brake stop pedal. I took pictures they required andcs3nt them as, too they were concerned of non airbag deployment. They determined via an engineer with in their dept. Just by looking at photo's that airbag should not have deployed. So, my issue with this is they are making a determination by not physically having vehicle damage to make assumption airbags never deployed. Upon looking at other complaints on here about the same time as mine. This maybe a concern going forward. I have given said automaker to help with repairs from accident. And they seem to trying to avoid these problems with said vehicle.
