Was coming from work just had gotten on the interstate . My speed was 75 miles a hour a dear hit my car that knocked the dear around 20 feet away from the accident . It pushed the radiator into the motor and all was pushed into the front tire. Tore the mirror from the drivers door damage all down the drivers side . No more headlights on the driver side all was gone . Now the question is why didn't the airbag work ? It didn't deploy with this impact so what has to happened for the airbags to work ?

Hi, I have been getting emails from audi USA about n airbag recall for my audi a3 but everytime I call my audi dealership in santa monica, ca they say they don't have at the store to try another dealership, I told them to call when they have it and it has been three months and they still don't have it. I bought my car there and I guess their costumer safety is not important when they have to do it for free. Please help.
