Description of the problem	When making a left turn at approximately 5-10 mph, i was broadsided on drivers side by another suv traveling at 35mph. None of my air bags deployed. I would have expected the side head rail bag to deploy, particularly the one right next to the drivers head. It did not. According to the iihs, this air bag should have deployed in this type of side-impact crash. I had to be taken to the local hospital by rescue squad and am suffering with severe back and neck pain as well as severe headaches from this collision... Updated 10/08/14 bf updated 3/24/2015 js
