ON FEB. 17, 2004 I WAS STRUCK FROM BEHIND BY A KIA SPORTAGE THAT WAS TRAVELING AT APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH. I WAS STOPPED BEHIND A MITSUBISHI ECLIPSE AT THE TIME. WHEN I WAS STRUCK IT THRUST MY VEHICLE INTO THE REAR OF THE ECLIPSE. MY AIRBAGS IN MY VEHICLE NEVER DEPLOYED. I AM POSITIVE THAT THE FORCE OF THE COLLISION WAS SUFFICIENT ENOUGH TO CAUSE MINE TO DEPLOY. MY 2 CHILDREN, AS WELL AS MYSELF RECEIVED WHIPLASH AND SHOULDER/NECK INJURIES. I FEEL THAT WE WERE VERY FORTUNATE TO COME OUT OF THIS UNFORTUNATE ACCIDENT ALIVE. I WOULD LIKE TO FIND OUT EXACTLY WHY THEY DID NOT DEPLOY. WHO CAN WE CONTACT ABOUT RETRIEVING THE INFORMATION FROM THE BLACK BOX? WE HAVE ALREADY BEEN ADVISED TO SECURE THE VEHICLE UNTIL IT CAN BE INVESTIGATED. WE WILL ALSO PHOTOGRAPH THE OTHER 2 VEHICLES INVOLVED, AS THIS MAY MAKE IT EASIER TO INVESTIGATE. WE HAVE BEEN INFORMED THAT ALL 3 VEHICLES HAVE BEEN TOTALED. *JB

AFTER DRIVING MY CAR AND PARKING IT THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED WITH NO WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INVOLVED IN ANY ACCIDENT NOR WAS THE VEHICLE HIT. I HAVE TRIED TO GET HELP FROM FORD TO REPAIR THE DEFECT AND THE DAMAGE TO MY INTERIOR DUE TO THE DEPLOYMENT OF BOTH AIRBAGS AND HAVE RECEIVED THE "RUN AROUND" FROM THEM AND STILL NO REPAIRS FROM FORD. THEY SEEM TOO BUSY TO HELP OR TO STAND UP FOR THEIR PRODUCT, LET ALONE A SAFETY FEATURE ON THE CAR THAT WAS CLEARLY DEFECTIVE. *CB
