Bad Airbags?
hmmm...i've been in 2 accidents with my subi....both front end....weird thing is, is that the airbags haven't gone off in both of the accidents....wondering if airbags are bad....or i didn't hit my subi hard enough?....because the first accident i can see why it didn't go off (a couple scratches on the bumper, a broken radiator, and condenser)....this current accident (broken bumper, grille, radiator, radiator mount, condenser, radiator hose, alternator belt, hood, driverside fender, driverside headlight.....pretty much front damage....but the car runs).....
just wondering....and wanted everyone to know...

hmm now that I think of it my side airbag didn't go off either when I slid sideways into a tree. Hit right inbetween the doors on the pillar. Definatly thought that should set the airbag off. Heh I never had an airbag blow up in my face.. wonder what it feels like

same here, when i crashed into a pick up truck i damaged most of my front end, and no air bag. the guy at the body shop told me that the air bag sensor didn't get activated. if the sensor doesnt get hit, then the bags dont go off.
