This evening, I had a collision with a car that was attempting to cross the highway, but pulled out directly in front of me. I slammed on my brakes, but t-boned the other vehicle. I was traveling at approximately 55 mph. Her vehicle sustained most of the damage, and I was actually very impressed that my Liberty did not sustain as much damage as I had expected.

I am very concerned that the airbag did not depoy despite hitting a vehicle that was essentially not even moving.
