| Description of the problem | I was going on a highway at approximately 50 mph and a truck pulled out in front of me. I had about 2 seconds to hit my brakes and hit the van head on into the side of his truck. None of my airbags deployed and the front passenger seat belt didn't lock down. My teenage daughter almost hit her head on the dash. The towtruck driver and others have said that my airbags should have deployed. It is very disturbing to know they didn't. I am very disappointed in this van. |
