Car coming into my lane, swerved right a few inches, car sucked into ditch, launched into telephone pole, put out power for 2 miles. Airbag (driver's) did not deploy. Bent radiator into "L" shape, sent front frame and engine into firewall. Airbag should have deployed regardless of anything. Poor manufacturing, late recalls not made to consumerrs.

Problem is, my girlfriend weight 110lb. Lot of time when she sits on the passenger side, the airbag indicator tells us the airbag is off. This problems only happened when I picked up my car on the street next to curbs. Design of roads is, the center is higher than the sides. Because of that, when I park on the right of the streets next to the curbs, the left side of the car is higher than the right side. So when my girlfriend sits on the passenger side, her weight doesnt goes to the center of the seat. But if the car is on surface level such as in a garage, and she get in the car, we have no airbag issue.
