I was involved in an accident where the front and side airbags failed to deploy. My car was a 2003 Kia Optima. The site of impact was on the left front end but substained major damage to the entire front of the vehicle. I have several photo's of the car, which was totaled by my insurance adjuster. My concern is if there is a defect with this car regarding the airbags. A close male friend, who was a mechanical engineer for chysler, could not explain/understand why the airbags failed. Please help me get to the bottom is this matter.
