In avoidance of hitting a cow, I rolled my Ford Explorer at least 3 times and none of the airbags deployed, front nor the side curtain airbags. My husband and myself were fortunate to come out with minor injuries. I have contacted Ford Motor Company and the have not yet offered to settle.

Air bag light illuminated. Took in to check. Side impact airbags require new wiring harness - there is an update to the wiring harness - no recall. However, if not repaired no airbags function. This is second wiring harness failure in vehicle.
