Filed Nov 5, 2019 · Airbags · CA · 1 injury

Ten minutes prior to air bags deploying I complained to my two passengers that my eyes were burning. I was stopped in traffic, with my foot on brake in center lane in city traffic, when I hear a loud bang and instantly both airbags on driver and passenger side deployed. The noise and force startled me taking my foot of brake and rolling forward. The air bags blew both my passenger and my glasses into the back seat of car. The passenger bag was smoking badly and I quickly put down both windows and I pulled off street into shopping center parking lot. The car in front of me whom I rolled into pulled over as well. We checked both the front of my car and rear bumper of her car and because no visible damage. I took a picture of her bumper and license plate to show no damage. My passenger in front seat was bruised from airbag as for myself and the other passenger we were shaken by the experience.

There was a vehicle in front of me. Both vehicles were traveling at the same speed. The car in front of me anchored the brakes. I was 3 car length behind. Th ABS failed and did not allow the brakes to resume. We hit the back end of the car in front at 35mph. The passenger seatbelt broke ending my fiance head into the windshield. The airbags did not deploy car was totaled and the toyota did not have a scratch: myself and my girl are both injured. I purchased this car 5/14. I believe there may not be airbags and I also think this car escaped having to have a salvage title. We are upset to say the least. As it is one thing but to put a consumers life at risk is another. This is the second car from this dealer since march 2014 that we had been given a death trap.

I am a cosigner on a 2002 ford mustang-daniel barker cosigner was brandon vick, also, on my insurance. On 04-16-2005 brandon was driving southbound on highway, 6 a major highway running through bcs between navasota and heampstead, he drove over a bridge which changed textures, or slopped down and the airbags in deployed. Brandon pulled over slowly and came to a stop, pulled out the airbags and drove away.*ak 04-18-05-brandon talks to insurance agent who calls varsity ford about fixing this since it is under warranty. They just say no, it will be $2,000. Calls thompson country ford and they say to come in and run mustang under diagnosis machine. Workers say they dont know what the codes mean and asked brandon to come back when manager is back. Goes back 04-22 manager says they will not fix it under warranty cause it has expired, this is not true.it was inititially understood by all parties from the book in the subject vehicle glove compartment that this vehicle is still under warranty for airbag situations. Then told brandon not to worry about the charge. Then when proved wrong they said they would not do it cause it had crashed but refused to write this on paper unless they were paid $70. I went up there and paid them $70. They wrote that the car was travelling down hwy 6 and hit a pothole. Airbags deployed and crash is detected therefore not covered by warranty, however they did not release codes or explain what all meant. They implied that car was crashed and 'fixed up' from sat to mon. They also wrote on paper that vehicles warranty has expired. They were falsifying the truth by saying that car hit a pothole. That was never said. There is no sign of damage on the car, examined by claims rep. There are thousands of vehicles that travel hwy 6 everyday and drive over the same bridge. No modifications to this vehicle. Claim with farmers pending however mechanical failure is excluded from policy.
