## Narrative
I WAS IN A AUTO ACCIDENT AND WAS HIT ON THE LEFT FRONT OF MY 2003 LEXUS AND THE AIR CURTAIN DID NOT ACTIVATE. I HIT MY HEAD ON THE DRIVERS DOOR WINDOW. DAMAGE WAS ESTIMATED OVER $3000.00 ON MY VEHICLE. I TRIED TO GET ANSWERS FROM THE DEALER BUT THEY DID NOT KNOW WHERE THE SENSOR WAS LOCATED AND WHY IT DID NOT DEPLOY.  *NM
