We were involved in an accident where we rear ended another vehicle. The other car was at a standstill and we hit them at about 30 mphs. The driver and myself both had seat belts. The driver injuries her left knee. The airbags did not deploy. I think that if they did her knee might not have been injured because she would not have slid forward upon impact..

On February 19, 2013 I was in a collision I hit the car from behind and totaled the front end of my car none of the airbags deployed leaving me with neck and back injuries. I want to know why they didn't deploy and why isn't or wasn't there a recall because this is not the first reported incident of no deployment of airbags. My car is 2 years old and this is the first collision that I have ever had and for the airbags to have not deployed leaves me with a lot of concerns. My father is actually having me consider a lawsuit due to the airbags not deploying. Im hoping this will help someone else because my wreck was pretty serious and I also had my kids in the car with me at the time.

My 20 year old brother was on his way home and lost control on black ice trying to avoid a dog. He began to swerve and spun out, resulting in a single flip into a ditch. The front end of my vehicle is completely destroyed and believed to be totaled. The car landed on the passenger side head-first in the ditch. Not a single airbag deployed. I bought this vehicle for it's safety features considering the weather where I live. If I had taken my 5 month old daughter to town (which I was planning to do after my brother returned home), I honestly believe she wouldn't have survived if I had been in a similar situation to my brother's. I have owned the car for a few months and it had less than 10,000 miles when I bought it.
