What owners wrote
My husband had a car accident on 2/22/2019 with a dodge tam. The ram hit my husbands expedition and non of the airbags deployed. The accident happened at about 40 MPH while my husband was sitting at a turn site. The other driver was driving towards my husband and hit him with his truck. My husband estimates the other driver was going about 40 MPH. The other driver smashed into my husband as he was idle waiting to turn. My kids are hurt and my husband is hurt as well. The airbags did not deploy at all!
