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.*ak
