My husband has had 3 wrecks in this vehicle anywhere from 5-10 miles per hour up to 85+ mph and not once has any airbag went off! 2 were deer hits and the low mph was another car. I believe that going 85+ mph in any vehicle should send the airbags to set off. We were coming back from amarillo tx pulling a trailer behind and a deer jumped out in front of us hitting us in the radiator and tranny cooler system. We had our seat belts on and only injuries was just added herniated disks in my back. The body shop we took it to is no longer in service but our insurance co at the time is still open. I will contact them and get the info needed. I had a 2005 Ford Fusion and wrecked it only doing 12 mph and every airbag went off when the steering went out and I lost control and hit a 12 ft bank of ground. My suspension went 8 inches out the opposite side of impact as well as all airbags. I believe the air bag in our 2007 2500hd is a danger to us everyday! I don't know what company has the responsibility for the airbags not going off but there is something wrong with the airbags in this vehicle. I pray that someone reads my concern and does something about it! our 8 yr old granddaughter rides in this truck often and that is a concern as well. Another is my 18 yr old son drives it too along with his dad! something needs done with this airbag issue on this vehicle. As consumers, we have to trust that what vehicle we buy will be a safe one but it's getting where the older vehicles are more reliable than the newer ones (1990's to 2018) instead of risking our lives, over charging us for the new vehicle why don't you make them safer instead of more expensive and defective? just a thought that I think all car plant has forgotten about! lives matter!! quit putting money making in front of safety!! I will get pics from insurance and add them later. The date of accident is an approximate

The dash right next to the corner of the passenger side airbag has cracked and looks like it could effect the operation of the airbag in case of deployment. The crack became worse after having the airbag inflator replaced recently as part of a different recall. Additional cracks have appeared in other places on the dash since the crack by the airbag first appeared.

I was making a left turn at an intersection when another vehicle slammed into my truck head on. My air bags did not even deploy. Although my vehicle was the larger of the two, I expected the bags to do their intended job, but they failed to do so. This was one year after the recall and General Motors still don't have a remedy for the air bags
