I was standing at a red light and was rear ended by a speeding driver. I was catapulted into the truck standing in front of me. The front end of the car was totaled, as well as the frame bent from the rear; where I was hit originally only milliseconds before. I bought the vehicle because of the air bag protection, no airbags deployed. A fireman on scene commented that he could not believe that the airbags did not deploy. My vehicle is in the police impound lot, because of an accident resulting in injuries. I have since shown the pictures to several people, even mechanics; and they have all stated that there is something wrong with the airbags, since they did not deploy. The insurance company is demanding that I release the vehicle to them immediately.

My husband [xxx] went toholman ford dealership in mt laurel nj.to return vehicle for a deal with holman lincoln ford and the manager told our sales representative [xxx] that there is a recall on it and parts will not be in until september. #1 what is the safety recall? #2 why tell us to bring vehicle in if no intentions were to buy back vehicle ? That is what the deal was since I had breast cancer surgery and unable to drive vehicle for 9 months or longer they offered to buy it back, my husband [xxx] had appointment with [xxx] and manager @2:30;06/23/2014. Manager would not even talk to my husband just told [xxx] to bring car back in september when parts are in for recall? We received no notice of any type of recall other than what we saw on nbc news this morning6-24-2014 for recalls on air bags deploying causing injuryon ford vehicles, without notice. A safety issue for our family to drive car unknown what is wrong with it, I had problems before with gasoline leakage 2 x's and fire department came to my home to empty tank out before vehicle was placed on flat bed for the driver of flatbed's towing service to dealership, this occurred two times last year. I fear the manager on 06/23/2014 said there is a recall on it and parts won't be in till september but refused to state the recall ! Unprofessional and lack of safety concern to repeated customer for years, that is not how you care about the well being of a client. #3 what are the reasons for recall, sales rep. Said manager won't even come out and talk to you about it. Parts are not in for unknown recall!!!! He wouldn't tell sales rep. The manager, I called dealership this morning at8:30 am spoke to carol in appts on recall and [xxx] the manager not the one from yesterday and he had no recalls he see that he was aware of. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
