I was traveling straight in my f-150 on a main road in the 30-40mph range when another vehicle (2006 chevy 2500 pickup) darted across traffic trying to go from one parking lot to another. I struck the other vehicle (t-boned) on the passenger side front and back doors. My foot was jamming the brakes at the time of collision. The impact was significant and caused a good amount of damage to the front of my f-150. The seat belt actuator fired off to lock me in place but the air bag did not deploy. I don't understand how/why the airbag did not deploy in this instance.

Vehicle was parked on a level surface. Upon entering the vehicle I could not pull out the shoulder belt. It was not fully retracted, hanging down 3-4 inches. I could not pull it out after multiple attempts. I drive home for 5 hours and tried multiple times to pull out the seat belt with no success. The next day I tried again multiple times with no success. After driving the truck and reentering I tried the seat belt and it pull out allowing me to engage the sealtbelt it was fully retracting and pulling out. The truck is ten months old with 13,000 miles. I do remember that when I initially purchased the truck the seat belt would completely retract while I was wearing it causing discomfort as I was unable to pull it out.. I would have to unbuckle the belt, let it retract in and then pull it back out. Since it is now working ford is unable to do anything but replace the seat belt if it occurs again.

In november 2016 just 8 months after our truck was purchased my husband was trying to stop at a red lightin our neighborhood and the brakes went all the way to the floor and di'd not stop, the brakes did not work. Luckily there was not an accident or injury this time. We took the vehicle to ford in grapevine and they told us the master cylinder in the. Takes needed to be replaced so they replaced it. 3 months later in march 2017 my husband was in traffic turning at a light to merge onto the highway, traffic came to a stop and he tried to stop and again the brakes went all the way to the ground and they didn't work nor did they stop the vehicle. This time he rear ended a lady in an SUV. He said he had plenty of time to stop and was luckily going at a reduced speed but still was unable to stop or slow before colliding with another vehicle due to brake malfunction. The truck is now at grapevine ford again and we have yet been told what the issue was. Both times these incidents occurred there was no warning, no lights, nothing that we noticed that could indicate an issue. We have had tons of other issues with this truck, drivers side seatbelt broke, air conditioning unit broke, skylink system shorted and brake failure. We have been refused a replacement vehicle by ford and are currently dealing with lawyers but that could take 3 more months. I am furious that no consideration has been given to me and my family over these issues. Have they fixed our vehicle? Sure, but I am terrified to put my babies in this truck ever again no matter fixed or not. The next time we may not be so lucky and I can not take that chance. This is a work and family vehicle and our work/finances have been severely compromised as we pay a lot of money for this truck. I am extremely disappointed with ford and their customer service and their product and hope this may help get our issues resolved.
