2003 Pontiac Grand AM Air bags Problems

“The other driver ran a red light and I t-boned her jeep, the crash spun my Grand Am around and ripped the front end almost all the way off my car.

Upside down restrained by the seat belt, I noticed the Pontiac's air bags had not deployed and the engine was not running.
