I have recently been doing a review of several incidents involving the ford focus one of which was relating to my father, where on instances the air bag did not deploy on the vehicles during the incidence of a crash. This is something that I have noted on several accidents involving the vehicle, where in determination of the impact should of activated the deployment of the vehicles airbags but rather the system has not reacted in any form as of thus far there has been on noted death that I know of being my father, their could be others but unsure...I have 5 notations of this happening the vehicles were diffrent peoples, bought at diffrent times, and from diffrent dealerships.
