| On my 2007 ford f 150 sport i was involved in a crash. i struck a light pole on the side of the interstate on the right front bumper and the right front panel. after hitting the pole, i went down a hill and hit trees from there. it did more damage to the front of my truck yet still nothing from the airbags. it was enough force to crush the hood, and the entire right panel. the airbags didn't deploy and 1 person was seriously injured. from what i am reading, it take 18-20 lbs of pressure to have them deploy. it was for sure enough force to have them deploy and according to officers at the scene, no one can understand as to why they never deployed? i would really like to get an answer on this, and would like to know if ford ever recalled this issue? i also have pictures of the accident. thank you! *tr | |||
