Description of the problem | On 02/25 i was t-boned by someone that ran a red light who was going approximately 30 mph and hit the front passenger side door/quarter panel and i was wondering why it is that my side curtain airbag did not deploy? From my understanding, in a collision with that kind of speed and the placement of the impact, the airbag should have deployed but it did not. While the car was being repaired, i asked the body shop to check into why it did not, and they told me that the firing pin for the airbag, was smashed to pieces. Which further tells me that something is wrong with my car to make the airbag not deploy. I am just grateful that my passenger and myself were both uninjured from the incident besides a slight case of whiplash. Everyone including the police officers that arrived on scene and the body shop were amazed that no one was injured especially since there was no airbag deployment to help protect her. *js |
