I was driving home after work traveling at approximately 55 MPH. An oncoming chevrolet pick up truck made a left hand turn into my path of travel. I hit the truck broad side on the passenger side spinning him into a 3rd vehicle. Upon impact there was no deployment of the airbags on the driver or passenger side. The vehicle has been totaled, therefore no repairs.

The airbag indicator light when on and according to manual it said to bring it in to the dealer. They check it out and found that it was a side impact airbag sensor. This car does not have a have a side impact bag. We were informed that even though we dont have side bag, the front bags would not work because of the way ford programmed the airbags. I searched the internet and found several others with the same problem with their air bag indictor light. I believe this false indictor could be fatal if not relsoved in a timing manner.

Major front end collision. Seat belt was on - driver sole occupant. Air bag did not deploy. Ford was notified, and to date has done nothing to explain why the airbag did not deploy. Vehicle is available for inspection, but ford has not chosen to look at it, and cannot offer any reason why the airbag would not deploy in such a crash. Driver struck chest on steering wheel, and it is beleived seat belt did not tighten either.
