Myself and 13 yoa daughter were on CR0151 when we were struck by a 1996 Chevy S-10 on the right side of our 2011 Soul hitting the passenger side front fender doors and pillar between the right side doors. No air bags went off with this impact and with all the air bags why didn't any go off?...updated 09/12/12 updated 09/18/2012
