Description of the problem	My son and i were in a severe crash. We were hit from behind at about 50 mph by two cars. We were knocked off the road and down a drop off. We landed and went over large boulders. Car was totaled. Front end and rear end gone. Two wheels came off. No air bags deployed. This is a great concern for people that may want to purchase the soul. All other vehicles in the crash had air bags that did deploy. I think if our air bags were working properly then my son and i may of not had such severe injuries to our heads, backs and necks.
