Airbags did not deploy in the crash. Van has been totaled by the insurance. Much front end damage; van flipped end for end braking windshield & both front drivers & passengers windows. Seat belts saved their lives, with injuries to body & heads. Van speed maybe 40 m. P. H. On highway & uphill on a curve. Single vehicle accident, driver blinded by on coming headlights from another vehicle. We never received a recall, but looks like modular/airbag control unit may corrode & fail, recall s07 for some 2008 vans only. Nhtsa reference #16v047000 & number affected 111,519 vans. My VIN# shows no recalls open for it & shows all others have been done. This recall should have been on my van too. Not one airbag went off & we could have been killed. The van is totaled, most damage to front, even bumper is bent right under, what more damage does it take for the airbags to go off. Please check out why mine was not recalled.
My wife was stopped on the I-94 freeway in detroit, mi. A vehicle was closing in behind her at a high rate of speed, and crashed into the rear end of the vehicle. Her vehicle then lunged forward and hit the vehicle in front of her. The front and rear of the vehicle experienced significant damage, yet none of the airbags in the vehicle deployed. My wife's head contacted the steering wheel. She was transported by ambulance to the hospital for evaluation. She currently has a fractured nose, and severely swollen/black&blue eyes. We have 2 children under the age of 5, who thankfully were not in the vehicle. The fireman on the scene had stated that he has been working as a fireman for 18 years, and he has never seen a vehicle with as much frontal damage in which the airbags did not deploy. We have filed a claim with our insurance company, and fully expect the vehicle to be totaled out due to the significant damage. I have since taken many pictures of the damage, and can send them to you if you provide an actual email address.
