What owners wrote

2011 ford f-150 traveling at approximately 40 MPH traveling straight and another truck turned in front of the f-150. Brakes were pressed and could not stop fast enough to avoid the collision. Truck air bags did not deploy. Not sure if air bag failure or truck wiring/computer communication failure. Would be nice to get more information on why the air bags would have not deployed.
