Consumer was involved in a head-on collision, impact speed over 40 MPH in which neither driver's side nor passenger side air bags deployed, causing injuries to three occupants of vehicle.
My 1999 ford windstar was involved in a crash where the front of my van hit another car. Front end damage was fairly extensive, it was a fender bender. My airbags did not deploy as I would have expected. Is there a problem with the airbag deployment on these vans?
