What owners wrote
West bound highway 44 before the railroad tracks. Female deer came out of nowhere and was hidden by the a pillar, drivers side, which obscured her sudden crossing. She hit the front, left, of the truck which caused the side-curtain airbags deployment charges on both driver and passenger side, to go off. Bags failed to deploy. The ensuing force from the drivers side curtain airbag plastic cover ejecting out, forcefully rammed into me, pushing me into the center console.
April 04,2021. Stopped for traffic on I-10 , 17 miles east of lafayette .la. While sitting approx. 10 to 12 feet behind the auto , a ford 350 with a trailer struck me from behind at approx. 50 plus MPH. The impact pushed me into the carin front. Totally destroyed the reared. My reared and frontend was damage. My front bumper caved in. After impact, my truck cab filled with smoke. My airbags never deployed. My air bag light displayed that bags was deployed but they didn't.
