A vehicle pulled directly across my path while I was traveling approximately 45 MPH, resulting in a t-bone collision. My vehicle was totaled. Somehow, my airbags did not deploy.

Reported at 8,200 miles, October 2007 CrashInjury

I was in a car accident going approximately 35 MPH and hit a truck that turned in front of me. My air bags did not go off.

Reported at 17,000 miles, April 2008 CrashInjury

Son was involved in a motor vehicle accident in which he hit a cement truck head on and the vehicle airbags did not deploy. The entire front end of the vehicle was damaged (smashed in) and the vehicle subsequently totaled out. As per GM this type of crash would not have created a deployment of the airbag however; my son cracked the front windshield when his head hit it at impact with the truck and again, the entire front end of the vehicle was smashed.
