MY FAMILY AND I WERE TRAVELING AT APPROXIMATELY 55MPH ON A DIVIDED HIGHWAY AND WERE HIT IN THE FRONT OF THE TRUCK BY A CAR THAT WAS PERFORMING AN ILLEGAL U-TURN. THE TRUCK WAS TOTALED AND NEITHER AIRBAG DEPLOYED. MY WIFE, ME AND TWO CHILDREN WERE HURT. I SUBSEQUENTLY HAD A LOWER BACK FUSION OPERATION AS A RESULT OF THIS ACCIDENT. I BELIEVE THAT FORD IS AT FAULT BASED ON FAULTY AIRBAGS. HOW IS IT POSSIBLE THAT NEITHER AIRBAG DEPLOYED WHEN THERE WAS A DIRECT FRONTAL IMPACT AT 55 MPH? I WOULD LIKE TO OBTAIN MORE INFORMATION REGARDING POTENTIAL AIRBAG DEFECTS SPECIFIC TO THIS VEHICLE. I AM 100 PERCENT DISABLED AS A RESULT OF THIS ACCIDENT AND MY ATTORNEY AT THE TIME DID NOT WANT TO GO UP AGAINST FORD MOTOR CO. ANY AND ALL INFORMATION RELATED TO THE ABOVE WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. I WOULD LIKE TO CONSIDER A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT IF IT IS DETERMINED THAT FORD HAD AN ISSUE WITH THE AIRBAGS IN THE FORD F-150. *TR

DRIVER AND PASSENGER AIRBAGS DEPLOYED AFTER A HARD BRAKING, THE TRUCK WAS NOT IN MOTION AT THE TIME OF DEPLOYMENT AT A STOP LIGHT. BOTH AIRBAGS CAUGHT ON FIRE. DRIVER WAS PINNED BY THE AIRBAG CAUSING FOOT TO PRESS ON ACCELERATOR. LOC AND BLUNT TRAUMA TO ABDOMINAL AREA, ABRASIONS/BURNS ON ABDOMEN AND CHEST. *TR

I JUST PURCHASED THIS TRUCK YESTERDAY 12/29/11 AND I DROVE IT HOME PARKED IT AND GOT IN THE VEHICLE THIS MORNING, STARTED IT AND THE AIRBAG LIGHT BEGAN TO FLASH AT ME AND THEN STAYED ON MY WHOLE 1 HOUR DRIVE TO WORK. I HAVE 4 CHILDREN, AND AM AFRAID THAT THE AIRBAGS ARE GOING TO DEPLOY WHILE THEY ARE IN THE VEHICLE OR NOT DEPLOY IF WE ARE IN A COLLISION. IF THERE IS A RECALL PLEASE LET ME KNOW, I NEED TO GET IT FIXED. *KB

I WAS DRIVING NORTHBOUND ON A 3 LANE MAIN ROAD (2 LANES GOING ONE WAY, 1 LANE GOING THE OTHER WAY) AT ABOUT 40 MPH. WHILE COMING UP TO A T-INTERSECTION (I HAD THE RIGHT OF WAY, THE SENTRA HAD A STOP SIGN) ABOUT 20 TO 30 FEET FROM CROSSING THE INTERSECTION, THE SENTRA PROCEEDED TO CROSS MY LANES TO MAKE HER LEFT TURN. AS I TRIED TO AVOID THE ACCIDENT I ENDED UP HITTING HER SENTRA HEAD ON. AFTER THE IMPACT MY AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. AS FOR HER SENTRA THE IMPACT WAS ON THE FRONT LEFT TIRE SO NO AIRBAGS DEPLOYED IN HER CAR. I HAVE A 2000 FORD F-150 AND HIT HER HEAD ON....BUT NO AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. COULD THIS HAVE BEEN A POSSIBLE DEFECT ON MY TRUCK. I HAD PICTURES TAKEN MINUTES AFTER THE ACCIDENT. *TR

NO ONE CAN TELL ME WHY. HAD THE AIR BAG CAME OUT THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN ENOUGH DAMAGE TO TOTAL THE TRUCK. NOW I WILL BE DRIVING AROUND IN A TRUCK THAT I DON'T KNOW IF THE AIR BAG WILL WORK OR NOT. *JB

AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON SAY THE BAGS ARE OUT AND THEY ARE NOT AND IT KEEPS STAYING ON. I CAN NOT GET IT TO STAY OFF PLEASE SEE IF THERE IS A RECALL FOR THESE BECAUSE MY DAUGHTER HAD A 1997 FORD ESCORT THAT CAUGHT FIRE BECAUSE OF A RECALL ON THE AIRBAG THAT SHE WAS NEVER NOTIFIED ABOUT. *JB

MY GIRLFRIENDS MOTHER WAS TRAVELING ABOUT 40 MPH IN HER 2000 FORD ESCAPE, AND HIT AN ELK. LUCKELY NO HARM WAS DONE TO HER, BUT HER AIR BAGS DID NOT GO OFF. MY CONCERN IS THAT MAYBE THERE IS A DEFECT IN THE ESCAPES, AND WOULDN'T WANT SOMEONE ELSE TO BE INJURED OR KILLED FROM THE PROBLEM. I WOULD APPRECIATE IT IF SOMEONE COULD CONTACT ME IN SOMEWAY SO THAT WE COULD TALK ABOUT THE PROBLEM. THERE WAS ABOUT 5,000 DOLLARS IN DAMAGE, AND IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE CRUSHED LIKE AN ACC. *AK
