My son and i were traveling home in charleston wv. we merged onto the patrick st bridge in the left lane. there was a disabled vehicle in the lane that did not have on it's hazard lights. due to rain and wet conditions, when i applied the brakes to stop the car hydroplaned and hit dead center in the rear of the 2006 ford explorer that was disabled. the crashed caused the rear of my car to lift slightly off the ground and moved all front end components from the grill to the radiator etc... into the engine. this shifted the engine backwards, crumpled both fenders, and also the hood. the airbags did not deploy at all for either passenger side for my son or driver side for myself. no one was injured in the crash. the car is being considered a total loss at this time. everyone i have spoken to are shocked the airbags did not deploy with the amount of damage the impact caused. i have seen that there was a recall on the 2011-2012 dodge chargers for airbags but i did not see a recall for my make or model. i will be following up with dodge also to investigate this problem. *tr

On a trip to nashville we were on the interstate going 60 mph when it started to rain slightly. going downhill the rain came down harder and we started to hydroplane. i lost control of the car scraped against the left guard concrete wall. we then spun around multiple times then crashed head long into the right concrete wall. we hit our heads on the windsheild, rearview mirror flew off, banged up our legs and arms. all the while the air bags never deployed. *tr
