January 29 worst day of my life.
Still dealing with a pinched nerve and a torn rotator cuff. Hopefully Ford can get the 2023 Ford maverick hybrid air bags working so nobody ends up worse then me. Vin # 3FTtW8E33PRA17219
Lee county sheriff case number
25-052704 states no air bag deployments.
State farm insurance crash report :
5979X742K also states no air bag deployments:

WOW. 1st I'm glad YOUR OK. Vehicles can be replaced. Lives can't. Not sure why the air bags didn't deploy. That's not ok imo. Maybe there's a logical reason or maybe not. I'm not knowledgeable on the requirements for them to deploy.

you may want to notify the nhtsa.gov site with information for the records. It may need to be checked into and help others in the future

Just guessing, but it looks like most of the impact was on the passenger side front wheel, which wouldn't have airbag sensors in it?

Obviously from the injuries incurred, they were needed and failed to protect the occupant or occupants. What broke the windshield on the passenger side?

I just gave them all the info

Not a full side impact or full frontal impact. Either of which would deploy the airbags.

Send report + pics to NHTSA

Somebody feel free to fact check me on this. I believe all modern vehicles have an accident black box. Should store impact deceleration, speed, etc. I wouldn't be surprised if somebody from the insurance agency automatically pulls that information for an accident like this. I don't know that - just a wild guess.

I would refer to it as a glancing blow.
It wasn't full front on. It wasn't a full side on T-Bone. That's why no air bags.

It does not look like there are any sensors located where the damage was.​

If only there were no side air bags and front bumper was also crushed in

I was hit to the side and front bumper.
Mavericks have both side and front airbags

If front bumper has contact at 45mph, airbags should deploy….. my ford app said airbags have been deployed and to not drive the vehicle

I’ve seen other vehicles from various manufacturers also not deploy on corner impacts.
Looks like a glancing blow.

Glad your going to be able to heal up.

I got it head on in my Tacoma by an F-150
Mine was dead center head on not like yours. His speed was 30 mph and mine was down to about 5 mph.
No air bags deployed in either vehicle because we were just below the 35 mph threshold of most air bags.

Again, you’re alive and your unibody may be ok.
