I had an accident where I rear ended a stopped vehicle. I hit him directly in the rear while I was traveling approximately 50mph. My air bags never deployed, but I was saved from serious injury by the seat beat. I notified ford and received a return letter from [xxx], consumer affairs which basically stated that "the air bag system is designed to deploy under certain conditions, non deployment in a collision, is not necessary indicative of a defect. What, is this man a moron to think a direct rear end collision with a stationary object at 50 MPH is not the right condition. I believe this should be looked into by competent people. Sincerely yours. [xxx] dt information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).

On sunday, 10/07/01 at approximately 2pm, I was parking alongside a residential street behind my unoccupied father in law's truck. I was slowing down to park, going less than 5 MPH, when my foot slipped and I bumped my father in law's rear bumber. The collision was not hard. There was no damage to his truck. My truck's license plate was slightly dented and the bumber cover was only scratched. This mild impact, however did cause both my airbags to deploy. I was not hurt. I reported incident to my insurance and they referred me to a body shop for repairs. When I went to pick up my truck today, I was told by body shop employee that it was a strange incident because the impact had been so mild and the air bags were not fully deployed. As I researched this website I did find information on the federal safety agency campaign id number 01vo82000, which addresses the airbags not fully deploying. I am not only addressing that problem, but also at how easily the airbags did deploy at such a low speed, low impact incident.
