"takata recall" I had an airbag failure after hitting a deer at 65 miles per hour on the hwy. The charge in the airbag went off but the air bag did not deploy. The airbag light remains on. I need this fixed!

Last night 01/11/2018, I was driving home and my airbag light came on. This morning my gas pedal was sticking, and it was hard to drive/go. Once I reached the main street, it was hard to accelerate. Now the airbag light won't go off.

Takata recall our car was in a collision in 2011 and the airbags did not deploy. We wondered why as we were traveling about 35-40 mph on a highway
