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 traveling in my F150 truck at 65 mph(cruise control set) I was totally blinded by the sun and rear ended a Ford Focus. My wife and I were wearing our seatbelts. Neither airbag deployed which "would have reduced my wife's injuries" (her physician). The hood of my F150 was buckled leading me to believe that the sensor should have activated the airbag. How can we be certain, if the vehicle is repaired, that the airbags will deploy under similiar circumstances?
