| I own a 1998 astro van. i was involved in a head on collision . my air bags did not deploy, nor did my seat belts restrain me from hitting the steering wheel. my son was not restrained either. we both had injuries. estimate cost of repairs 7-8,000.00 worth the damage. there is severe frame damage that requires a sub frame to be replaced. i need to know if this is a ongoing problem with front end collisons that the air bags do not deploy, or does the seat belt not restrain you?*ak | |||
