The air bags on my C300 Mercedes 2011 did not deploy during front crash. The accident happened at a T intersection street. I was at the front lane at a T intersection stopping during red light. A Volvo car from the other side of the intersection that was trying to make a left turn-into the street that I was stopping on- crashed into my vehicle front to front as a result of avoiding getting crashed by another car that was passing red light into it's opposite direction. The Volvo that crashed into my car front to front pushed my vehicle about 10 feet back words and caused my vehicle to crash into an SUV with the rear right side of my vehicle into the rear left side of the SUV that caused my car to stop. A police report was taken at the scene. I then have requested from the collision center at the Mercedes dealer who handled my car, to look into the air bags to check whether there were a manufacture defect with the airbag for not deploying. Few days later, my car was reported a total loss.
