During snow/ice weather conditions I lost control of my vehicle on 01/11/07 going straight on rt. 380 in stockton, NY. My vehicle rolled over, and landed front end down, upside down in a ditch. During the crash, none of the three air bags engaged/released. Because of the impact on the front end of my vehicle, think they should have released. No injury was done to myself, and no one was in my vehicle, but I was very lucky. Nothing needed to be done to correct this failure.
