A young man hit us from behind coming home from Thanksgiving at my children's. He hit the rear driver's side back end and then came all along the panel in the drivers side and the air bag never deployed. Fortunately, he was only driving a small Ford Focus or it could have meant we were drastically harmed when hit from behind. The Nissan Altima was a rental from Hertz and the airbags never deployed through all of this! Very upset!
