Vehicle is not available for inspection upon request due to the vehicle being in an accident. As a result from the accident, the vehicle was a complete loss and beyond the point of repair. Without pulling the vehicle computer for operation list before accident occurred, it is specifically unknown what component or system failed and or malfunctioned.
My son was in a wreck over a week ago. He lost control and ran into the side of a brick house. Both airbags did not deploy. I would assume any impact such as these the air bags would have deployed but they did not. I have pictures attached.
