My husband rear ended another vehicle between 40 - 45 mph and my airbags did not deploy. I am concerned that if I had been driving I would have hit the steering column as I drive closer to the wheel. I have spoken with numerous people who all state that at the speed he was going the bag should have deployed. The impact was all frontal, he did try to avoid hitting the vehicle, but the impact is from the center of the hood on the drivers side back to the windshield. The vehicle is a potential total.

- Springfield, UT, USA
I was slowing down toward a traffic light and about 35-mph the ABS light came on. The car brakes went almost to the floor could not stop. Consequently I could not avoid a collision. The dealer said that the air bag did not open because the vehicle impact was inches just above the left side of the bumper, to my surprise. I thought I was buying a safe vehicle for my family. Since the vehicle was new the light came on one time or another, the deler could not find the problem but it was there and nothing was fix.
