The air bag turns on when a person sits in the seat that is over like 50lbs i think. theres a pressure sensor in the seat that turns the passenger air bag on. the seat belts have nothing to do with the air bags.

I had this issue in my 2011 when brand new with it being on or off at times with my wife in the passenger seat. She only weighs just over 100lbs. Sometimes it worked and sometimes it didn't. When i took it in the shop told me it was 80lbs but, if her weight was not in the seat in just the right spots it might not register due to the seat foam being very stiff. After about 2 months the seats softened a small amount and the issue went away and now works every time. It is a combination of weight and where the weight resides on the seat to hit the sensors.

So sorry this happened to you. I am glad everyone is ok. I hope your car repair goes easy and quickly. It's scary to hear the airbag didn't deploy. My son is 9 years old and almost 10. He is 5' tall now, he doesn't weigh 100 pounds. He will be riding in the back seat for a long time.
I will check the airbag passenger airbag message more closely when my wife is sitting in it. I check it when I first got the car but never really looked at it again. I come close to getting hit or have a car pull out in front of me daily here. The tourists are coming back in October and it's about to get worse. It is a good idea to make sure the front airbag is working. Face planting in the dashboard could kill you. Good luck with your car.

Sorry about your car, Question, If you hit the tree with the drivers side how did the bumper get hit on the passenger side? But the car looks like it can be fixed, Going to come down to what it will cost to fix it.

It was a couple days before the wedding, no alcohol involved on either part. There's a short, smooth gravel road near where the wedding was and we were going to check it out when he got into town. About 11pm. A deer ran from right to left across the road the same time he was shifting, my guess is he saw that and dumped the clutch too quickly causing the rear tires to break loose at the end of the corner. Sure didnt help that I needed some new tires (No it wasn't an attempt at drifting). That and almost as soon as it broke loose the rear tires hit the grass that was wet from the frost and as soon as that happened there was no control of the car and no more slowing down.
We hit two trees. One on the driver side hit at about the headlight and the second hit just inside the passenger headlight head on. I'm not mad at him, just glad neither of us got seriously injured |

Probably not totaled.
I know on some cars there are 3 airbage sensors along the front of the car, and you have to trip 2 at the same time for the airbags to deploy. If this Camaro is the same, maybe two of the sensors were not tripped at the same time?

At least you guys weren't seriously injured. Perfect example of why I don't let any of my friends drive my car. And perfect example of why there are seatbelts. |
