What owners wrote
My wife was in a frontal crash with enough impact to nearly push the engine into the passenger compartment. The car was totaled by the insurance company. The air bags never deployed. I believe this was defective equipment or design. I do have digital pictures that show the extent of damage.
Consumer's vehicle was involved in a front end collision while driving at 20 MPH and the front air bags did not deploy. There was no indication or warning that there was a problem with the air bags before the collision. *nlm
