2006 ford expedition involved in head on accident and airbags did not deploy. Ford expedition was driving southbound on a four lane divided street about 30-35 MPH when a minivan traveling northbound blindly tried to make a left turn into a shopping plaza and turned right in front of me. An rv was sitting in the center median blocking her view. I hit her passenger rear side head on. I had 3 children in the car. No airbags deployed. Why the heck do I even have them if they aren't going to work when needed? I am concerned about the airbags not deploying. I don't feel safe in my expedition and I am afraid to drive it again. I don't feel it is safe... Isn't the safety equipment supposed to protect us and keep us safe and work??

Was involved in a (3) three vehicle accident in january 2011 on state route 28 on black ice conditions. Vehicle #1 hit black ice and lost control striking my 2006 ford expedition several times and then my expedition was rear-ended by another vehicle during the collision. I did have my seat belt on and luckily was not severely injured. Neither of my front air-bags deployed and my expedition suffered $14,000 dollars in front end damage alone. The airbag sensor was damaged and should of deployed the air-bags but did not. My vehicle was repaired but repair shop and state police were both surprised air bags did not deploy. Now I am having problems with the airbag sensor as it lights up all the time and no problems can be found when diagnosed. This is a serious safety concern and need to be addressed. I still own my expedition and worry for safety if another collision occurs will the air-bags deploy to save a life.

I was traveling down the road hit black ice and then slide into a tree head on. Both the driverside and passenger side airbags failed to deploy. I was wearing my seat belt but still suffered facial trauma. I received several sutures in my lips and the inside of my mouth. I think ford should investigate and do something about this problem. I feel that if my airbags would have deployed I wouldn't have suffered the trauma to my face.

I was stopped at a red light, construction truck ran into back of my 2006 ford expedition. The impact pushed me 20 feet into the vehicle in front of me, sandwiching my vehicle in between the other two; the impact first threw me back then forward & sent my glasses off my head but the airbag did not deploy. I got a concussion & shoulder injury due to force. Police & medical persons were amazed that airbag did not deploy. Vehicle had front end & rear damage, was undriveable & had to be towed away. I am waiting to find out if it will be totaled out.
