While driving down a 2 lane road in my 2002 Ford F-150 "harley davison" pick-up truck doing the posted speed limit (50 mph), I quickly tried to avoid from rearending a mid-model 1990 Ford aerostar passenger van, at a speed between 35-45mph. After impacting the rear end of the van, the air bag(s) on my air bag equiped vehicle "did not deploy". My seat belt was being used. The insurance company and myself had to take a loss of the vehicle, due to the extent of damage done to my vehicle.

While attempting to park my truck in a parking lot during the winter month of January, I had to maneuver over a small snow pile the size of a speed bump. After spinning my tires in four wheel drive on the slick snowy parking lot, the trucks front tires finally made it over the bump from a parked position. As soon as the truck came to a sudden stop on the other side of the bump, both front airbags deployed. Theconsequences of the deployment are that my insurance will not cover the accident because it was a non-collision accident and that the value of my truck now is 6,000 dollars less than it was with air bags. To correct the failure I have contacted Ford motor company and have had no such luck in anyone assumiong responsibility for the cause of the airbag failure.
