Complaint Description: was involved in a head on collision with another vehicle traveling at 50mph and i was traveling at 50mph. the other car was totalled and my car is significantly damaged 50% of the front of the car and to the driver side door. due to the newness of this car and minimal crash test information available, i am extremely concerned that the airbags did not deploy. i feel they should have and demand diagnostic testing and proof that the srs is functioning properly. most crash testing is performed at 30mph at which they do deploy. how do i get reassurance that this vehicle is safe and not malfunctioning? *ak .
