re: Severe crash & not a single airbag deployed (XUV 500)



Mahindra can blame sensors, angle of impact etc. all they want, but this is most definitely an accident where the airbags should have deployed. There are no two sides to it. Those airbags could have led to lesser injuries to your son.



I'm just wondering what is the root cause of this? Is it insurance? I mean, end of the day, any manufacturer can set the airbag trigger point to anywhere between easy or aggressive. Other than insurance claims, I can't think of any reason why a manufacturer wouldn't err on the side of safety. Do companies care more about their customers or the insurance companies? Or is it how much customers have to shell out in repairs (you have to pay 50% of the cost of airbag replacement).



Shame on you, Mahindra.

The impact sensors were defective - they sensed neither rapid deceleration not impact

The airbags did not trigger.

The seat sensors did not detect anyone seated Some of the causes could be Mahindra's electronics are anyway the worst! Arvind, please wish your son a "get well soon" from all of us. We sincerely pray & hope that he gets on the path to speedy recovery and all is well soon.Mahindra can blame sensors, angle of impact etc. all they want, but this is most definitely an accident where the airbags should have deployed.
