Description of the problem	I was involved in 2 separate vehicle collisions in my 2008 kia rondo on 2 separate occasions. I was sitting in the stopped vehicle when another vehicle crashed into the passenger's side door/rear of the vehicle. The second vehicle was traveling at an unknown speed upon impact. The air bags failed to deploy on both occasions. As a result, i sustained neck and back injuries. The vehicle was drivable and not towed, but driven to a dealer/private mechanic. The failure could not be replicated. The air bags were not repaired or recalled at time of either incident/accident. The air bag light illuminated after first accident and was on at time of second accident. The dealer/manufacturer was contacted about this issue and i was advised there was no air bag recall at this time. The vehicle was repaired for structural damages caused by the accident. The vehicle was turned into the dealer/private mechanic. Physical therapy was obtained through the accident claims.
