Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I was sitting in an intersection waiting to turn left. as i began to turn a pickup truck ran the light and hit me head on at approx 45 mph. none of my 4 airbags deployed -- driver front & side airbags nor the passenger front & side airbags. the front end was completely smashed up. my car was towed from the scene and subsequently ruled as a total loss by the insurance company. i don't understand how none of these airbags deployed in this accident! *jb
