What owners wrote
We question why none of the 4 airbags (2 sides, driver or passenger) deployed in a crash that had the 2010 scion xb airborne. And the vehicle rolled resting upright on the front of the car. The injuries were predominantly seatbelt bruises and a fractured kneecap. The multiple impacts during rolling may have been too low to initiate an airbag deployment or it could indicate a problem. What should be done to determine whether the response was appropriate? The car will likely be totaled by state farm.
