Takata recall - I dont know if that applies to my car. My wife had an accident on march 12 2019 where she hit a tree. The impact was so much that the cradle of the body was damaged. My insurance company is geico , declared the car as total loss. The reason that I am writing this complaint is that car airbags did not inflate they were not activated. When you see the picture of damage you will be amazed why this must have happened. When I reported this to ford they said this is your case number cas17428626 and someone will get in touch with you shortly. Nobody has got in touch they have my email id they have my phone number and my house address nothing not a single response. When we talk on the phone they are like everything will be done right away but the rightaway is like a summer day in the month of january which never comes. I even told them just incase if I dont pick up the phone please leave a voicemail or even a message so that I can get back to you quickly. So far no one has responded. Frankly I am disappointed in their handling of my case and also this is america where safety is never compromised so why did it happen to me or why should it happen to anyone who has a similar car like mine.

I was driving through san juan capistrano california evening of jan 3rd 2018 west bound on hwy 74 having just past the overpass on I-5. I was only going about 30 MPH and the steering suddenly stopped working and my car floated over and I could not stop it or steer. It was the strangest thing I ever experienced. I felt the sensors in the car suck in. My car bounced over the curb and the right front wheel was torn off it. The insurance company totaled my car out and the loss of my car has been significant loss of income and ability to work too. I lost so much over this car being totaled. I has usaa auto insurance and gap coverage on the note. However I had no idea about how insurance and the ability to restore insurance would be affected.

Airbags did not deploy I attached loss docs, I have pics of car as well as wheel well where wheel was pulled off after bouncing over the high curb.
