You should be glad you didn't have enough deacceleration to deploy the bags. Getting hit in the face with a bag of hot gas going at two hundred miles an hour is only to be wished for when you really need it. I would guess the system worked as designed. Some of these systems try and gage the accident on the basis of front end deformation and deacceleration rates. I suspect the combination of a T-bone hit, low speeds and the crumple zone working moderated the deacceleration rates and saved your nose. I doubt you have a case. Cheers, Jim
