I was involved in a severe front-end collision where my vehicle struck another vehicle with significant force. Despite the major impact, the front airbags did NOT deploy. The entire front end of the vehicle was crushed, including destruction of the radiator, damage to engine components, internal structural collapse, and leaking fluids. Based on the severity and direct frontal nature of the crash, airbags should have deployed but did not. As a result of the impact, I sustained a neck and upper shoulder injury and required medical evaluation. There were no warning lights or messages prior to the crash indicating any malfunction in the airbag or SRS system. The vehicle is available for inspection by NHTSA, the manufacturer, insurance, or an authorized Mercedes-Benz service center. This appears to be a possible failure of the airbag/SRS system during a qualifying collision.
