Narrative

on January 1/23/2022 my vehicle was traveling at a speed of approx. 35mph in wintery conditions. A vehicle failed to stop at a stop sign and slide into the road way, and my vehicles front end collided with the side of their vehicle. All of the other vehicles air bags, front and sides, deployed. None of my airbags deployed at all. The vehicle had significant damage and was a total loss. The highway patrol, tow truck driver, the EMS, the Insurance adjuster, and the body shop all said "I can't believe your airbags didn't deploy". My VIN number does indicate a recall related to airbags, but indicates it was fixed. I feel there was definitely an issue that prevented them from deploying. The people commenting are experts as they respond to accidents of this nature as a career, so I feel their opinion warrants an investigation in this matter.
