| Description of the problem | I was involved in a collision with a 2014 dodge ram and it was a front impact collision. My car was totalled ( the impact even crumbled the rear quarter panel) but the airbag on the driver's side did not deploy. The repair company was confused with the amount of damage to my vehicle and the airbag did not deploy. Ii sustained injuries to my neck, back and left side. I still have back pain but i'm getting better. Confused as to why the airbag did not deploy. |
