After a severe two-car crash that damaged both the front and rear of your vehicle, the airbags deployed only on the passenger side instead of both sides. Additionally, the steering wheel completely detached and fell toward the driver's footwell. This raises serious questions about the airbag and steering system's safety performance during the collision.

The steering shaft de-coupled from the steering wheel, leading to a complete loss of steering. After stop, engine was turned off and steering wheel lowered. At that point the steering wheel fell in my lap, completely decoupling from the steering collum.
