Description of the problem	Takata recall: i was recently involved in an accident in which my driver side air bag did not deploy when it should have. There was so much impact that the passenger side front and rear curtain air bags deployed on the other vehicle involved in the accident. I was stopped at a stop sign preparing to cross a very busy intersection. Once i determined it was clear i began to roll away from the stop sign when suddenly a south bound car entered the intersection without it's lights on and collided with the front driver's side of my vehicle. At the point of impact, the south bound car was traveling at least 45 mph and my vehicle had merely rolled away from the stop sign and i slammed on my breaks just prior to impact. I was not traveling more than 5 mph when the vehicles collided. Once both vehicles had come to a complete stop i realized i had struck the back of my head on the driver's side window extremely hard but no air bag deployment had taken place. There was so much force in the impact that the frame on my vehicle was bent. The other driver was cited in the accident any my vehicle sustained $16,000 in damage. I am extremely frustrated that the side curtain air bags did not deploy and now i'm facing the fact that i will have to continue to drive a repaired vehicle that may or may not provide me with all the safety that i demand moving forward. I respectfully ask for your assistance in helping me hold the manufacturer liable for my situation and rectifying the situation. Had i rolled into the intersection any farther than i did, i may not be alive to file this complaint.
