: the contact stated, while traveling through an intersection at 25 mph., the vehicle was struck on the driver's front door by a police vehicle running a red light, without the emergency lights on. Both frontal and side airbags failed to deploy. Injuries were incurred in the collision. A police report was filed and pictures were taken at the scene. The airbag sensor light was replaced by a service dealer, approximately one-year prior to the accident.
I was involved in an accident where the front and side airbags failed to deploy. My car was a 2003 Kia Optima. The site of impact was on the left front end but substained major damage to the entire front of the vehicle. I have several photo's of the car, which was totaled by my insurance adjuster. My concern is if there is a defect with this car regarding the airbags. A close male friend, who was a mechanical engineer for chysler, could not explain/understand why the airbags failed. Please help me get to the bottom is this matter.
The consumer rear ended another vehicle. The consumer was wearing his seat belt, however the air bags did not deploy. The dealer claimed that the collision was under the truck's bumper. The consumer's vehicle was totaled. The consumer suffered shoulder and head injuries in the collision.
