Description of the problem | My daughter was hit in an accident that crushed the front end of the vehicle jamming the front doors and the air bags failed to deploy. This causes great concern that the air bags are faulty in the 2013 vw passat. The car was so severely damaged she had to crawl out the back doors of the car as the engine was shoved in.....
