MY WIFE WAS DRIVING A 2004 CHEVY ASTRO VAN APPROX. 35-40 MPH ON A TWO-WAY STREET. ANOTHER DRIVER FROM THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION CUT ACROSS INTO HER LANE AND HAD A HEAD-ON COLLISION. SHE SUFFERED A BROKEN WRIST & BRUISED RIBS. SHE HAD THREE OF OUR CHILDREN IN THEIR SEATS. THEY WERE SHAKEN AND HAD SEATBELT BRUISES. THE VAN WAS NOT DRIVABLE AND WAS TOWED AWAY. THE POLICE & THE TOW DRIVER REPORTED THAT THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. WE HAVE SOME EXPECTATION THAT THE AIRBAGS WOULD HAVE SECONDARY ROLE TO MINIMIZE INJURIES. MY COMPLIANT THAT THE HARD COLLISION WAS SUFFICIENT TO DEPLOY SAFETY EQUIPMENT BUT DID NOT WORK AS DESIGNED. WAS THERE A RECALL FOR AIRBAG FAILURES FOR THIS MODEL OF VEHICLE? *TR
