air bags did not deploy in accident air bags did not deploy in accident air bags did not deploy in accident

Was driving from work to pick up my kids from an after-school program around 5 pm. I was in an accident due to a careless driver attempting to make an illegal left turn into on-coming traffic. I was struck on the driver side and neither side nor steering wheel airbag deployed. I sustained injuries to my neck, arm, back and ankle. I am thankful my children were not in the vehicle because now I can not even imagine what injuries they would have sustained would they have been in the car with me and THEIR airbags did not deploy! I have called Nissan directly to file a complaint. I hope everyone out there has a working airbag!
