problem #3

Takata air bag did not deploy. Side impact sensor did not work. The car traveled sideways into a large oak tree in excess of 35 mph. The point of impact was where the side impact sensor was located. None of the airbags deployed. Subaru has been very uncooperative with answers as to why the airbags did not deploy. This happened upon a rural road in the fog. No other vehicles were involved.
