April 04,2021. Stopped for traffic on I-10 , 17 miles east of lafayette . La. While sitting approx. 10 to 12 feet behind the auto , a Ford 350 with a trailer struck me from behind at approx. 50 plus mph. The impact pushed me into the carin front. Totally destroyed the reared. My reared and frontend was damage. My front bumper caved in. After impact, my truck cab filled with smoke. My airbags never deployed. My air bag light displayed that bags was deployed but they didn't. Got out of tuck because at the time, I had no idea what was happening. After such an serious impact from the back and front, I was very discourage that the airbags did not deploy as they were suppose to.
I was involved in a rear-end collision, where I was sitting stationary. The other vehicle hit me going estimated speed of 50 mph. The air bags did not deploy, yet the gas from the airbags filled the vehicle and some of the plastic in the interior has been broken/damaged. The police officer asked me if I "vaped", that is how cloudy it was inside the vehicle and smelled like sulfur. This has caused great concern that the airbags did not deploy, yet the gases from them did.
Takata recall , I was in motion on a city street and hit a deer when my air bag sensor went off in my dash and caution lights and some light would not shut off but air bags did not deploy.
