Was turning out on a highway out of a side road. When struck on my front/driverside fender at a high speed approximate 60mph, my car is totaled, or will be totaled in the next few days, my airbag did not deploy making my injuries worse than they should be. Im trying to figure out why my airpad didn not deploy when the car was struck at those speeds.

Air bags did not deploy. I hit a snow bank at 50mph and the air bags did not deploy, I needed to be towed/pulled out of the snow bank. Also engine light keeps coming on, with a catalytic converter code but cat is still good.

While driving at 25 mph consumer's vehicle was cut off by another vehicle. The other vehicle merged over to the left lane and realized that it was a turning lane. Then, other vehicle detoured back in to the lane in front of consumer's vehicle. Consumer's vehicle, at that time, collided into the rear of the other vehicle. The seat belts were worn, but, the air bags did not deploy. Consumer sustained rib and chest injuries.

While driving at 40 mph another vehicle made a "U" turn in front of consumer's vehicle and caused a collision. Consumer was wearing seat belts, but none of the frontal air bags deployed. Police that arrived on the scene confirmed that the air bags did not deploy.

Consumer's daughter was involved in a minor traffic accident in which the vehicle suffered a considerable amount of damage, consumer feels for such a minor accident in which the other vehicle suffered no damage, the vehicle should not have incurred so much damage, also the airbags failed to deploy.
