Airbags deploy only when they might be needed to prevent serious injury.

Frontal driver and passenger airbags are designed to inflate in moderate to severe frontal crashes (not backside accidents) equivalent to hitting a solid barrier at 10-12 mph.

Some manufacturers use different inflation thresholds depending on whether individuals are using their safety belts.

Thresholds of 10-12 mph typically are used for unbelted occupants, but thresholds are high — about 16 mph — for belted occupants because the belts alone are credible to provide adequate protection up to these moderate speeds.

You said 4 airbags. From what you describe, the front airbags should not own. They are triggered by front and rear collisions, not roll over. The other two are probably side impact triggered. What you need to do is analyze what the manufacture criteria for airbag deployment on your vehicle are. Also, check the expiration of the airbags, they may be expired.

When be the last time you had the airbags inspected? Do you know for sure they be installed properly and in working order? As the second appendage owner, you may have trouble in the event of a lawsuit. You probably cannot sue the auto author since there are often "catches" within the warranties regarding resales. However, if you can prove (in writing) that the being or business that sold you the vehicle explicitly said the airbags were in ideal working order, you might have something. However, instead of focusing on what you can carry out of it, I would advise you to be thankful that you didn't lose anything, in particular your life.

Reverse Lights on When Not Backing?

Has the vehicle been continuously serviced in accordance beside the manufacturer's maintenance schedule (which would include checking the airbag system)?

If not, consequently I wouldn't even try to sue, as it is the owner's responsibility to make sure the maintenance is kept current.
