This evening, I had a collision with a car that was attempting to cross the highway, but pulled out directly in front of me. I slammed on my brakes, but t-boned the other vehicle. I was traveling at approximately 55 MPH. Her vehicle sustained most of the damage, and I was actually very impressed that my liberty did not sustain as much damage as I had expected. I was wearing my seatbelt, but to my surprise, my airbag did not deploy. My chest hit the steering wheel. I am very concerned that the airbag did not deploy despite hitting a vehicle that was essentially not even moving. I love my jeep, but how do I know that my air bag even works? Luckily I made it through this accident without severe injuries, but may not be so lucky next time.
