I was involved in an accident where I collided with a pickup truck in front of me. We were traveling about 40 mph, when we both braked when a third car in front slammed on his brakes to make a sudden left turn without signaling. I'm concerned my airbags are defective because they did not deploy upon impact. There was substantial damage done to the front of my vehicle. It's a good thing the seat belt worked as it should, or I would have sustained injuries.

When driving at low speeds, the vehicle surged forward without warning. This caused the driver to lose control of the vehicle and hit a building head on. Upon impact, both frontal air bags did not deploy.
