Aecm memory did not register upon impact in accident. The airbag "did not deploy" at "impact". major damage to the main frame in front of the car. The main bar is pushed back into the radiator, in which the radiator is pushed back close to the motor. The front end was destroyed, headlights were pointed in different directions. I just recently (Dec 05) had my seat repaired again, in which it was under recall, for the recliner bolt that kept breaking.
