This is the third airbag failure I have reported to this Agency. All of these vehicle's whose air bag failed were late model sport utility vehicles of pick up trucks. Each vehicle was involved in a right angle collision at speeds of 45+ mph. Each vehicle sustained severe contact damage to the entire front end. In each case the air bags did not deploy. I am employed as an accident reconstructionist for the scottsdale police department in scottsdale Arizona. Please feel free to contact me with any questions which you may have.
