Description of the problem	Rear ended another car at the end of a ramp. Severe damage to other car. I wondered at the time why the air bag did not go off, even though my bumper and hood was damaged. But, police said it was probably because i went under the smaller car? I didn't question his judgment, but now that i hear of so many other toyota car airbags not going off, i think there is a serious problem and it should be investigated.
