I am getting continuous emails saying that there has been an issue detected with my airbags. The airbag light will sporadically come on, and when someone is in the passenger seat the airbags do not always turn on.

Encore

Oct 9th - I was coming home from work on October 9th after working a 12-hour shift. It was dark. I was going South on happy valley. I pulled up to a four-way stop on happy valley and victory road. I started to pull into the intersection. A girl traveling East to West didn't stop at her stop sign. When I got in the middle of the intersection, she hit me. The speed limit was 45 mph coming from her direction, but I do not know how fast she was traveling. She hit my car and it spun my car. I remember hitting my head 2 times on the side window and my body twice against the door. My airbags didn't deploy. My car faced the airport when it came to a stop and was facing West.
