Description of the problem	My name is [xxx]. My wife and son was involved in a head-on collision back last year on may 02, 2014. Wife was sitting still at a light waiting for light to turn green in order to turn left when a car heading from opposite direction ran a red light slammed into another vehicle and then slammed head on into my wife's car which was sitting still at approximately 55 mph and then air bags in the car did not deploy. Due to the impact, wife's head was slammed into steering wheel giving her a concussion and blacking out and getting hurt badly and my son was sitting in passenger seat and jarred around pretty good. I am very upset as how the airbags should have deployed and they did not. It is my firm belief there is a manufacturer defect in the airbags on this car and possibly many more.
