Description of the problem | The vehicle was involved in a multi vehicle accident, where the car was hit twice on the drivers side, the 2nd impact hitting the drivers door causing damage to the door and fender along side of the engine compartment. The air bags illuminated due to the crash, but there was no deployment of the airbags.
