I thought the same thing. I googled and from what I am reading the air bags will not deploy if the car was not running. He never said it was, just that it was in neutral. If I am running back in the house I turn it off. That may be a reason they didn't. Just specualting from what I read. That damage I think would set it off.how much damage to the front end do you need to deploy an airbag? Yikes.
Don't think it had been started.how much damage to the front end do you need to deploy an airbag? Yikes.
That sucks OP. I would be devastated if this was my car.The hill was pretty steep, and my house is up the hill and across the street. As a test, I sat in my truck in the garage, put it in neutral, and took my foot off the brake. My truck was at 10mph before the front tires hit the street, and the grassy hill is twice as steep as my driveway.
I worked at a dealership 10+ years ago - there was a 08-09 or so GT500 sitting out back behind the body shop - the RH side was all caved in at the door, car was wrapped in plastic.
Story goes - guy bought car, paid cash, immediately slid it into a tree with no insurance. Car wasn't registered or anything. Owner never did anything with the car.
Car sat behind the body shop until 2011-2012 - the body shop manager called the owner up, told him "you owe me 8,500 dollars in storage fees, I'll give you 8,500 for the car. Deal. body shop owner now owns a squashed GT500.
So they went to the junk yard, cut a V6 Mustang body in half. They cut the GT500 in half at all the factory spot welds, etc. Then they put the two together, reassembling just like from the factory. Car needed a passenger seat, door panel, door, and a new dashboard. The dent in the roof on the GT500 popped back out once all the tension from the bent side was released.
The car looked and drove like a brand new one, had a clear title, etc. The owner had a photo album full of pictures he would show people.
From that point on, I never felt that "it's never the same" thing ever again.
