I have a question. On 2004 Saturn Vues, if the car is not on, will the air bags still deploy? I recently was involved in a hit and run accident. I was not in nor was I driving my car, and my insurance is now saying that the only way the air bags would have gone off is if the car was on and the seat belts were clicked in. Can you please let me know if there are any other claims or if this could happen. Thanks.

When driving at 35 mph another vehicle did not stop at a stop sign. This caused consumer's vehicle to T-bone the other vehicle on the passenger's side. Passenger's side air bag did not deploy directly in the middle of the seat, but air bag deployed towards the left of the seat. Consumer had the vehicle towed to the dealer.
