Myself and 13 yoa daughter were on CR0151 when we were struck by a 1996 Chevy S-10 on the right side of our 2011 Soul hitting the passenger side front fender doors and pillar between the right side doors. No air bags went off with this impact and with all the air bags why didn't any go off?...updated 09/12/12 updated 09/18/2012
On the above date the referenced Kia Soul was making a left turn when a Ford 350 pick up truck ran into the driver side door area. The pickup truck was traveling at approximately 25 mph. The collision caved in the drivers side door's exterior skin as well as the interior skin without activating the side airbags on the Kia Soul.
