| My vehicle had major frontal impact damage, because of a significant deceleration frontal impact, and there was a major development of negative force upon contact with the other vehicle. the purpose of my complaint is that my vehicle's driver side air bag failed to provided safety function at the time of impact, because it did not deploy, this accident impact surely transversed the whole structure of my vehicle, and even bent the front chassis frame and cracked the windshield. the engine compartment received major damage, the nature of the impact and damages warrant the development of the air bag. *jb **dimsii ivoq entry posted after 12/12/02 cut-over to artemis****762224 | |||
