I rear ended another vehicle that was completely stopped. I was going about 35 to 40 MPH. There is $8500 damage to my f150 truck. The damage is all in the front end. My air bag did not come out. No one can tell me why. Had the air bag came out that would have been enough damage to total the truck. Now I will be driving around in a truck that I don't know if the air bag will work or not.
My son was traveling about 45 MPH and a car turned left in front of him. He hit the car in the drivers side and neither one of his frontal air bags deployed. The other driver was in a honda civic and both his air bags deployed. My son had back, neck, arm, knee and leg injuries. The police and fire dept said the air bags should have deployed. The truck is being looked at now to determine if it can be fixed or totaled.
Air bag light came on say the bags are out and they are not and it keeps staying on. I can not get it to stay off please see if there is a recall for these because my daughter had a 1997 ford escort that caught fire because of a recall on the airbag that she was never notified about.

I was involved in an accident on 9/2/02. I was north bound on hwy 52, a car in the south bound lane of hwy 52 lost control and slid and spun across the grass median and hit my truck in the left front corner to center line of the front bumper. The point of impact on his car was left rear tire/wheel and quarter panel area to rear bumper of car (car was left broadside to me). I was going about 45 MPH prior to the crash, and my airbags did not deploy on impact. I did have the passenger side airbag turned off, but due to the severety of the collision, I feel the the drivers side airbag should have deployed. If I had not been wearing my seat belt, I would have been thrown forward into the steering wheel and windshield, with no airbag to protect me from injury.
