Airbags did not deploy in a crash by model year
What owners say
While driving on a freeway in heavy traffic three vehicles in front of me came to a sudden stop, two of them moved to the left. I had plenty of time to stop and when I pressed the brake pedal my brakes started working normally. As I got closer, about two car lengths, I lost braking power and sped up as if I had hit an icy patch in the road. I went to the right and hit the vehicle in front of me in the right rear quarter. At this point I coasted to a stop on the shoulder. When I was able to check out my truck I found a lot of brake fluid in the right front wheel well area that appeared to have come from the metal brake line which was rusty. The truck was so heavily damaged I could not get a picture or see the hole in the line. The air bags did not go off. The truck was totaled.
