My two sons were turning left when they were t-boned by another vehicle. My sons vehicle was struck in the right rear. The side air bags went off but not the two fronts. Also their seat belts did not tighten. Bc of this both sons suffered tbi's, one very severe and is still recovering. The other required brain surgery. I am so upset that their seat belt did not tighten. I bought a newer ford thinking it was going to be safe. Please someone fix this defect. I had no idea that this could ever happen. They were hit from the other person going 45 MPH so it should have tightened. Sad momma. Lives changed forever. :( [xxx]*dt parts of this document have been redacted to protect personally identifiable information pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).

I was involved in a car accident and my car slide across a highway, hit a median, and came to a stop hitting a tree head on. It demolished the drivers side and no air bags deployed. I unhooked my seat belt and merely leaned against the door. To my surprise, it opened by itself and I fell out. Consequently I was laying in the snow and mud for 5 minutes before a good samaritan pulled me out of the mud. I submitted my car to a ford dealer/bodyshop to correct any recalls last year, and I have proof that this wasn't done properly. Now I have I hurt disk in my back as well as little mobility in my left leg.*dt

This was a recall already that is hazardous to all drivers on the road includong the driver. The car will stall,studder,and give no power when pulling off. I cant understand how something so dangerous that also cost me my life would have a limited warranty on a saftey recall. This should be a lifetime warranty on this. Because they caim to fix the issue but if it continues to break down after 2 months 3 months. Why is their a limited time frame on safety recall and the saftey of drivers and the owner.this has caused accident to others. Because when a recall is done. You believe the issue is fixed. It should continue to have the same problem. Then the limited warranty is up. Now you're stuck with a safety hazardous car that is dangerous to put on the road. Please help. I did stall on the road I had to get the car towed. I was stalled due to this recall. Now it's happening about. Drivers safety shouldnt have a limit this other incident occurred due to their warranty not holding up with keeping the roads safe. The same safety recall is now starting to cause road hazardous issues again that will be unsafe for the road and myself. The cars not even 10 years old.

My ford focus has been having electrical issues for several months now. I have asked ford to look at my car and they stated it will be $150 to do that. I do not have the money. My major concern is the air bags. My light has been coming off and on and I do not think the air bags will employ. I have seen several complaints on your web site and online as well. Some cars have been in accidents and having the same issue and airbags did not employ. I am terrified this will happen and not save a life. I have an autistic 13 yr old that rides in the passenger side and myself are very concerned!. Also I have been following online a big issue with the electrical in the middle isle which controls the radio and airbags and whatever other warning lights and controls may be. My radio shorted out with loud popping and srcreehing nose then blew out. I think the electrical is all bad in the unit which may be effecting the airbags. Please I am asking for a very concerned safety concern to save a life regarding the airbags please look into a recall regarding this. I am not the first one tho complain about this. Thank you very much. I do have pictures with the airbag light on and off. It is not a push button! I can send pictures if you need them. I am able to do currently. Please let me know. Please help

Air bag light: our car was parked, and got hit by another car. This damaged the frame, but the air bag light went off and the air bags didn't engage. After the mechanic fixed our car the air bag light won't go off, and the dealership hasn't been able to clear it out. We have asked multiple times for them to fix it, and they say they don't know what's wrong. I don't know if my air bags will work, and they don't know what's wrong. I have had this problem for 5 years now, and every time I bring my car in the dealership ignores the air bag light.

Before purchasing this vehicle that has a rebuilt title and the airbag light was illuminated, I had a diagnostic test performed by my local ford service dept. Everything checked out fine with the exception of replacing the air bag. After the air bag was replaced (~$1000 later), they proceed to tell me that the airbag light is still on and the sensors need to be replaced and it will cost us another $2000. If this was known at the time of the diagnostic, we would have never made this purchase.

I was going 60 MPH on a freeway in the far right lane when my car started to hydroplane across 5 lanes of traffic and I hit the center concrete barrier head on and then the force of the impact caused my car to spin around and then the rear of the car hit the barrier head on. Not a single airbag deployed. Not even the one in the steering wheel. I think there's something faulty with them but no one will take a look at it for me.
