What owners wrote
I recently had a car accident going 40-45 MPH in my 2007 dodge dakota crew cab, and the driver and passenger airbags did not deploy upon impact of the other vehicle that came into my lane of travel.
I turned off of highway 501 and was heading east on a 40 MPH road. A 2001 saturn station wagon turned left directly in my path and I t-boned the saturn dead center of my dodge dakota, collided with the read passenger's side tire. The rear tires came approximately 3 feet off the ground. Both air bags fired on the saturn station wagon. My airbag did not.
