Was in a front end collision. Upon impact, driver's side and passenger's side air bags didn't deploy.
I was involved in a three vehicle collision with myself being in the middle of two other pickup trucks. The truck in front of me had a trailer hitch on the back causing all of the impact to be in the middle of my front end resulting in a u-shaped indentation going back into the engine of my truck. The collision was on an interstate and we were moving at approx. 50mph slowing due to the vehicle in front stopping suddenly. I struck the vehicle in front, bounced backward, then was struck in the rear very hard pushing me back into the front vehicle. Neither the drivers or passengers airbags in my vehicle deployed. Later speaking with the accident appraiser he stated that the airbag sensors are located on the left and right side of the front bumper and not in the middle. By the impact being in the middle of my front end the sensors were not triggered because the sensors never knew there was a collision. I believe this is a serious defect that should be investigated, there were injuries from moving forward, thankfully no one was very seriously injured but it could have been worse. Shouldn't there be sensors in the middle of the front ends also just for this type collision, I.e. All of the impact being in the center of the front end. Thank you.
Driver hit another vehicle at 35 MPH. Upon impact, dual airbags did not deploy, causing chest injuries, even with seatbelt worn.

While traveling at 35mph another vehicle pulled out in front. Was broadsided by dodge. Upon impact, the dodge's air bags did not deploy. Both driver & passenger were slightly injured. Police report filed. Vehicle was towed to shop for repairs.
While driving about 40 MPH a deer jumped in front of the vehicle, causing a frontal impact, and serious damages to the front end. Driver's and passenger's airbags did not deploy which did not protect the occupant in this crash. An inspector said a shield was over the airbag sensor which wont trigger the sensor if there was a frontal impact. Please provide further information.
When crashing into a tree, mostly on the left front side of truck, the seat belt did not hold the driver and there was no deployment of air bags. Owner not sure if truck was totalled.
