I was hit by an oncoming vehicle doing about 50-60 MPH on the surface streets when he hit me head on. The front part of my 2008 ford edge sel was totaled, and the guys green minivan was totaled in the front too. My airbags did not deploy. My airbags did not deploy. I can not believe this.
Beneath the drivers seat, there is a loud sound that resignates throughout the vehicle. Also the electrical panel had to be replaced and sensors go off periodically.
