My son was pulling the car into the garage which is a short distance from driveway into the garage. The car suddenly accelerated to a high speed. He stepped on the brake and pulled the emergency brake but the car would not slow down or stop. He rammed into a weight machine and cabinet in the garage which stopped the car. The car was put into park but the engine was still revving. There was front end damage across the entire front bumper and the air bag did not go off. This incident was reported to the ford motor co and I requested an inspector to come and examine the vehicle's gas pedal, brake override and air bags for defects but they have not been very cooperative. I do not want to have just the body work done and then be put back into the car and have the situation happen again.

Page 6 of 6: complaints 131 to 135 of 135, newest first, as owners wrote them.
The vehicle is only 2 years old and the airbags light is flashing per the ford dealer the airbags are not operational. Ford indicates this is not covered under warranty due to the car being 6000 miles out of warranty so if I am involved in a crash I will not be protected by the airbags, after reading online complaints this appears to be a common occurrence on 2007 to 2011 mustangs.
I was invalid in an accident and my front and/or side airbags didn't deploy. I was struck in the drivers side front end and the drivers side front fender by a 1995 ford tempo that was traveling approximately 45 MPH. I was traveling at 10mph when the impact was made. The estimate to repair my car is $8000 and they haven't even taken it apart yet, that is just from a visual inspection of the outside. I drive a 2009 ford mustang gt premium edition. I am concerned about this issue. I have read internet sites and saw pictures of the same year and model of vehicle the air bags didn't deploy either.
Tl*the contact owns a 2009 ford mustang. The contact stated that the passenger side of the vehicle was hit by another vehicle traveling at approximately 45 MPH. The force of the impact caused the contacts vehicle to crash head-on into utility cables. None of the air bags deployed and the contact was injured. The vehicle was towed and was being inspected by the insurance company at the time of the complaint. The current and failure mileages were approximately 39,000.
I was involved in an accident on feb 2, 2010. My driver's side airbag did not deploy properly because mullinax ford co. Here in fla. Put seatcovers over cloth seats. So actually the airbag had to deploy out of two seats. I had paid $950.00 for leather seats not seatcovers. The ford dealership that repaired my car will not put the seatcover back on so now I have seatcovers on all the seats except for the driver's side.
