Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I was involved in a car accident and the driver's air bag did not deploy and the passenger's did. the dealeship tells me that the driver's side air bag did not deploy because i had my seatbelt on and there was no weight on the seat and that the passenger side deployed because the was no seatbelt on and there was weight on the seat. i don't understand how this makes sense because ther was nothing or no one on the passenger side. i was driving and i would like to know why my air bag did not deploy. i was hit on the driver's side so i just don't understand.
