Smashed front end now air bag light is on and seat belts won't retract
 
My daughter is learning to drive and was pulling into a parking lot and overshot it and hit the curb. It smashed it in a little (see pics)

I suspect that it crushed the airbag sensor because now the airbag dash light is on and the seat-belts will not retract or come out any further.

Also mom and daughter said there was smoke and a burning smell inside the car. When I arrived to the scene and opened the door I could smell a burnt smell too.

I suspect that the airbag charge went off but nothing deployed?? Maybe the airbag is missing. I bought the car used from a dealer a few years back.

I am pretty mechanical but I have never dealt with airbags. Does anyone know how to get the seat-belts working again or how to deal with the airbag sensor?

Thanks, Joe

My suggestion, don't mess with the air bag system unless you are qualified. Take it to professionals. It's your daughters life you are messing with.

Thanks I am going to take it to the dealer to get it checked out
