2 car collision on a city street. Both cars in motion. Our car was turning left onto the main road and was hit in the left front area causing significant damage resulting in the total loss of both vehicles. The driver of our car was taken by ambulance to the hospital to be checked out. The driver of our car suffered a head injury on the left side resulting in pain and in particular short term memory loss. The accident report is available thru the kirkland, wa police department, case #20-19103. Although the report does contain errors and omissions it mostly describes what happened and includes several photos. The reason for this complaint is we are wondering why the airbags (side ones in particular) did not deploy? we feel it's very likely the head injury would not have happened had the airbag(s) deployed.

1st time -02/02/2017 leaking into passenger area above rear view mirror; flooded driver's foot area. Dealer drained the moon roof. 2nd time - 05/05/2017leaking into rear seat foot area from below the carpeting on rhs. Very large puddle; after 2 days still very large puddle. Under the front passenger seat there is a metal rectangular box containing "??" this is the area that is affected by the excessive wetness problem. If this a computer components box or a heating element box, people sitting in either the front passenger seat or the immediate rear seat could be at risk for electrically caused injury.

Driving through the salty state of ut. My rear windows on my Subaru Legacy have salt building up on the inside of the door. Going to the car wash doesn't help, it just grows right back. I'm worried that the salt could be causing internal damage to door, which could lead to failure.
