Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I was in an accident with my 1998 gmc jimmy. i t-boned a little volkswagen going appx. 35 mph. neither my driver side or my passenger side air bags deployed. i was informed that the air bags should have deployed after 15 mph. i bought the vehicle used in 2002, and i was not informed about any recalls or any thing. i felt that the impact was severe enough to deploy the air bags. instead i ended up smacking my head on the steering wheel. *jb
