File date	17/03/10
Component	AIR BAGS
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	I was at a complete stop, was rear ended by a ford explorer, which therefore made me rear end the person in front of me. The driver never put on their brakes. The back glass shattered, my trunk was in my backseat, gas tank exposed. None of the airbags deployed. Guess the frontal hit wasn't hard enough to make the front airbags deploy, which therefore hit my head on the steering wheel, that caused me to have a 3cm laceration above right eye, which required closing. The rear side airbags should have deployed, but didn't!! I am concerned about this because i have a child that could have been in the back seat, i had just taken her to daycare before i was on my way to work.
