My fiancee was in a vehicle accident where she rear-ended another vehicle. She was distracted by an aggressive driver and didn't realize the cars in front of her were stopped. She was traveling approximately 40 MPH upon impact. The passenger airbag deployed, but the drivers' airbag did not deploy. My concern is that it should have and did not. The vehicle is in possession of my insurance company and they are allowing inspection of the airbag system. If you are willing to test it for me and provide a report, I would greatly appreciate it. Ford is denying that it is faulty safety equipment.

I have a 2004 expedition eddie bauer. I rear ended a 7 ton dump truck going 40 miles an hour while he was at a dead stop. My hood was in a v and none of the doors would open. The front airbags did not go off. It was a very solid hit in the front of the vehicle. I believe the air bags should have went off. The dump truck did not budge so did not absorb much of the impact.
