I was in a major high speed frontal crash on April 4th. I hydroplaned on 204 and I almost died and none of my airbags deployed. I have several videos from the tow yard showing that they were still intact and didn't deploy, but this firm won'tlet me upload them. This car has never been in a wreck before, and my airbags were never recalled like other Takota ones around that time period. The wreck so serious that none of the first responders knew how I survived or on crawled out of the car to get help. The only savageable things for parts in that entire car were two floorboards and my airbags didn't deploy at all. I have suffered many lacerations and bruising all over my body.

I was driving with my cruise control on. I tapped my brakes to disengage my cruise control and they locked long enough to send me into a fishtail. I over-corrected to come out of the fishtail and the escape started rolling. The airbags never deployed even though the escape rolled six times and was totaled while still under factory warranty. My daughter received some minor scratches on her hands. I dislocated my left thumb, broke my left shoulder in four places, snapped my left femur in half, shattered the bottom third of my left tibia, and had a hairline fracture to my right tibia just below the knee. I was also thirty-five weeks pregnant and the baby died do to trauma from the crash. The accident occurred october 7, 2008 and I am still in the hospital as I am writing this complaint on january 4, 2009. Ford refuses to come look at the escape to figure out why the airbags never deployed.

I was broadsided and knocked into a utility pole. The front end was wrapped around the utility pole. I was driving my mother's 2001 ford escape. The air bags did not deploy at any time. Due to this my chest and left shoulder were injured greatly. I had to be cut out of the SUV. When the police arrived I heard them mention that the air bag did not deploy and told them to be careful when cutting me out of the vehicle. I was taken to the er on the day of the accident and on the next day I had to go back because of head and chest pains. I do believe if the air bags had deployed my injured would have been lesser. I have great bills because my mother's insurance did not pay the bills, because I did not live in the house with her. I have pictures of the wrecked vehicle.
