Passenger side air bag worked intermittently while passenger was seated in seat. Sometimes on when no one seated and off when someone seated. Now check/service airbags lights are on and passenger side airbag stays off when someone seated. I am not sure if any of the airbags at this point will work because all airbag lights are on.

I was in an automobile accident 1/17/08, stopped to make a left hand turn and was struck from behind, pushed into the opposing lane and then struck in the front by a small bus. My vehicle was a total loss. No airbags deployed. I am concerned that with the amount of impact from the rear right and frontal collisions, that the airbags did not deploy. *cn
