MY SON HIT A 2000 POUND COW AT 40 MPH. IT WAS STANDING IN THE ROAD AFTER A CURVE. HE NEVER HAD TIME TO HIT THE BREAK BUT STOPPED INSTANTLY. IT HIT HEAD ON AND THEN FLEW UP INTO THE WINDSHIELD. THE FRONT END CAVED IN AND THE RADIATOR WAS BENT INTO THE ENGINE. THE VAN IS A TOTAL LOSS. THE AIRBAG NEVER DEPLOYED. WE CHECKED ON LINE AND OTHER YEARS AROUND OUR VAN HAD A RECALL BUT NOT OURS. I REPORTED IT TO CHRYSLER BUT THEY SAID AIRBAGS DON'T GO OFF WHEN YOU 'DRIVE THROUGH AN ANIMAL'. I'VE KNOWN PEOPLE WHO HAVE HIT DEER WITH LESS DAMAGE AND THEIR AIRBAGS DID GO OFF.
