1999 Subaru Legacy Air bags Problems

“I was stopped at the intersection of 23rd and union in seattle on my way to work. I was going north. It was about 7:40 a.m. On tuesday, 5/20/2014. I looked in my rearview mirror and saw a car coming up behind me and it looked like it was going to fast to stop. The driver didn't even seem to slow down. My car was hit pretty hard. My airbag did not deploy. As far as I can recall my head or face did not hit the steering wheel. We got out of our cars. I did not see a license plate on his car either on the front or back of his car. …”

“I was almost at a dead stop when the car just surged foward once and before I could put the brake on, it surged foward again and sent me through a plate glass window at duncun donuts we hit a pole between the two windows very hard and the air bags didn't deploy.”

“While traveling down interstate 5, the traffic slowed due to an accident on the opposite side of the fwy., upon noticing the traffic slowing I released my foot from the accelerator the traffic came to a complete stop, I stepped on the brakes applying them all the way. I had plenty of time to stop the car in order to avoid an accident. Unfortunately the cars brakes didn't stop the car, and the car stopped when I hit the car in front of me. The air bags didn't deploy either. I had the same type of accident in march of 2000. I just felt maybe it was my fault and didn't think about it much. …”

“Car has pulled to the right since purchase. Purchased vehicle late sept., 1998. Ac did not work very well, but weather was cool and it was not a pressing issue. The following spring/summer, took in for repairs to dealer in evansville. Ac still worked intermittently. Accident 5/19/99 where I rear-ended a van at approx. 20 MPH., airbags did not deploy. Ac still only working intermittently. On 9/17/99, after driving the car approximately 25 miles at 65 MPH, I noticed the temp gauge was above the h and pulled over. The car died and never restarted. …”

“The speed and damage costs are guesses only. The problem was the airbags failed to deploy in a front end collision at a decent rate of speed. After the insurance investigator sees the car I'll be able to make a more detailed report. Please call if you have any questions.”
