Head on collision with another vehicle and the front end of a brand new 2013 Mercedes C class was destroyed. Vehicle was less than a month old. Airbags did not deploy and I wonder how that could be when the entire front end of the vehicle was smashed in. Mercedes pride their vehicles on safety and I'm very concerned that their new models may not live up to that standard. Airbags should have deployed in this accident to minimize injury or death. These new models are slowly taking to the streets and should be investigated to see if there is warrant for an airbag recall. Mercedes needs to be aware of this because they will be distributing these vehicles all over the globe. Not much is available on a 2013 model and this is a vital time to investigate before the masses have these vehicles where major injuries or death may occur. I feel lucky to have walked out with a concussion and I hope this investigation can prevent anyone else from future serious injury or death.
