What owners wrote

I was just recently involved in a head on collision with a tree when I lost control of my vehicle, which is a new 2016 ford f-350, on august 24th, 2017. This accident resulted in a total of 5 surgeries in less then 11 days! I have severe trauma & other related injuries that will require more surgeries. The entire front end of my truck was pushed back about 2-3 feet & none of my airbags deployed! Neither driver side nor passenger side air bags deployed...let alone any of the side airbags!
