What owners wrote
Tl* the contact owned a 2006 ford expedition. While driving approximately 45-50 MPH, the vehicle suddenly hydroplaned and crashed into a concrete wall off to the side of the road. The vehicle spun around 8-10 times and crashed into the wall approximately an additional five times. The vehicle eventually went back onto the road facing oncoming traffic.
2006 ford expedition involved in head on accident and airbags did not deploy. Ford expedition was driving southbound on a four lane divided street about 30-35 MPH when a minivan traveling northbound blindly tried to make a left turn into a shopping plaza and turned right in front of me. An rv was sitting in the center median blocking her view. I hit her passenger rear side head on. I had 3 children in the car. No airbags deployed. Why the heck do I even have them if they aren't going to work when needed?
