What owners wrote
I was driving my ford 250 on a slick road when a pick up stopped short in front of me. I was unable to stop in time hitting the rear end of the pick up approximately 20-30 MPH. My air bags did not deploy and the seat belt allowed me to slide under the belt causing my knees to hit the dash. Other then good bruises and mild soreness I was fine. The other person was fine as well. My seat belt did not engage and I am wondering why my airbags did not deploy. The grill and radiator were damaged?
