What CLA 250 owners report

Recent air bags complaints filed with NHTSA, shortened. Personal details are removed.

I slid on snow during a storm and hit head on to an oncoming car and my car has been deemed a total loss. During the crash not a single airbag at all deployed. I hit the windshield and the dash, at least one should have gone off, but none of them deployed in the car
