I was making a normal order delivery drop off going off my GPS I came to a narrow road where no signs of a dip ahead. Came to a dip ahead that you couldn't tell it was a dip and I wasn't going no more than 11 to13 miles when I was coming over it and my airbags busted out of my steering wheel hitting my hand and my arm leaving burn marks. I couldn't stay on the road so I waited 30 mins before I drove slowly back to my house cause then my tire started going low.

My daughter was involved in a single vehicle front end collision. She hit a fire hydrant after a 90 degree spin at a speed of about 30 MPH. The car sustained $6000 in damage and was totaled. Neither the driver or passenger airbags deployed. I questioned the body shop if they should have, everyone I talked to feels they should have. Isn't this what they are designed to do?

On may 30, 2005, our daughter was exiting a parking lot in her 2000 ford mustang. Due to the fact that the exits weren''t clearly marked, she drove over the sidewalk, resulting in approximately a four inch drop off. After waiting for traffic to clear, she accelerated to exit the parking lot and both of her airbags deployed. She was fortunate that a police officer witnessed this incident. After speaking with the officer, I was assured that speed was not a factor. I also reviewed photographs of the area to view to see the drop-off and came to the conclusion that it was the equivalent of a ''highway pot-hole'', which should not have caused the premature deployment of the airbags.

I was involved in a one car accident where I lost control and jumped a curb. My car was a 2000 v6 mustang coupe. The air bags deployed when the car made contact with the curb. But I was then airborn in the car for about 12 feet and by the time my car hit the ground my air bags had deflated, causing my passenger to hit her head on the dashboard. She had her seatbelt on, and be knocked unconscious. Also... When the air bags deployed they came out with such force that it knocked my hands off the steering wheel, causing me to not be able to steer the car .scared that if the tires weren't straight when we would touch down that we would flip. The same incident happened 2 days ago when my friend wrecked his 20'01 gt. He had lost control of the vehicle and clipped a telephone poll doing about 50mph. He then jumped a ditch... Went airborn... And wrapped his car around a tree. The airbags deployed,but had deflated by the time he had any real contact. The airbags deployed when he clipped the telephone poll... But when he needed it most it had already deflated... Causing him to hit his head on the steering wheel and then having his head go through the windshield. Airbags do not need to deflate so quickly. I think this needs to be looked into. Thank you!
