Air bag light is on.
- Norman, OK, USA
I was driving down a highway early in the morning with my mom, and daughter who was in an infant carseat. My husband was following me in the uhaul when I hit a deer going 55mph. I never saw the deer jump out in front of me, and my husband said I wouldnt have had time to stop regardless. But my air bags never deployed. Thank goodness no one was hurt. At the time we lived in Kansas but were getting ready to move to Texas.

February 22, 2017 7:15pm : I was on my way to pick my 3 children up at my parents. I was going the speed limit 50mph with my significant other following behind me. A deer jumped onto the road and I swerved the vehicle to avoid hitting the deer. I swerved 3 times before hitting a culvert. Upon hitting the culvert, my vehicle flipped and also rolled into the ditch. Although I walked away with a few scratches and a bruise on my leg, it could have been a lot worse. Two days later, I went to the impound to get my personal belongings out of my vehicle. I realized the air bags did not go off even though there is plenty of damage done to the vehicle. I have attached photos to support my complaint.

I was driving my very faithful Toyota Camry on a busy 2 lane road when a Honda Pilot stopped suddenly in front of me. I immediately reacted and slammed on the brakes. Unfortunately I didn't have allow adequate stopping distance, so I crashed into the Honda Pilot. The Pilot wasn't damaged much at all, but my Camry took a huge lick to the front. My airbag did not deploy, nor did my seatbelt lock. My chest hit the steering wheel. I did not go to the hospital in an ambulance, but went to the urgent care for treatment. I have a painful chest contusion (sprained sternum) and a stiff neck (cervical strain, or whiplash).
