While driving to work my brother had a heart attack, causing him to lose control of vehicle. He struck a tree dead center and the air bags failed to deploy. The front of his vehicle was pushed in approximately 16 inches. Photographs available.
NHTSA ODI report, 2006-01-29
We purchased our Jeep in 2008 and the air bag light was on. Some times it comes on immediately after starting the vehicle, sometimes after driving for awhile, sometimes not at all, like there is a bad connection somewhere.
