Description of the problem	Our subaru forester 2007 was in a front end crash and the air bags did not deploy. Driver was alone in car, there were no passengers. Damage to car was considered "total loss" by insurance company (assessed damage was at least $7500 with just a visual inspection). Front of car had severe damage, and was pushed in. Subaru was traveling west and hit side of a large toyota minivan that was traveling north at about 40mph (and had gone through a red light in intersection). Force of subaru hit to toyota was enough to cause toyota to swing around and hit another car sitting at stoplight. Considering severity of crash and damage to vehicles it seems air bags in subaru should have deployed. Airbags in other car (toyota) did deploy. Luckily, driver of subaru walked away with minor cuts and pain. Driver of subaru saw crash coming and was able to brace self a bit for crash, and was braking at time of impact. Have pictures if needed for analysis.
