Air Bag Problems of Ford C-max

The contact owned a 2015 Ford C-max. The contact stated that upon accelerating from a complete stop at a traffic light, the vehicle ahead suddenly slammed on the brakes and was rear-ended by the contact's vehicle. The contact's forehead struck the steering wheel before the front driver's side air bag partially deployed, with smoke coming out of the air bag. The fire department responded to the scene, inspected the vehicle, and advised the contact to drive the vehicle. Upon turning off and restarting the vehicle, the wrench warning light illuminated. The contact sustained a bruised and swollen forehead resulting in black eyes. The contact's daughter later transported the contact and her 10-month-old granddaughter, who was also occupying the rear seat of the vehicle during the crash, to the hospital. The contact was informed that she sustained a three-millimeter head bleed; however, the granddaughter did not sustain any injury. The contact underwent a CT scan and received iv pain medication. A police report was filed. The insurance company advised the contact that the vehicle was deemed a total loss due to the partial air bag deployment, and the contact was advised to fill out the form for an adjuster to inspect the vehicle. The failure mileage was approximately 187,000.

While driving my 2014 Ford cmax hybrid, I struck a deer at approximately 55 mph. There is moderate damage to my front end, but during the crash, my airbags did not deploy.

The passenger-side bottom corner of the windshield has become unglued. A glass repair shop informed us that the front passenger air bad deploys off of the windshield. In the event of an accident, the passenger side front air bag may not function properly, resulting in increased risk of injury to the front seat passenger. We noticed the right bottom corner of the windshield lifting up when we were cleaning the windshield from the inside. The vehicle is being taken to Ford for a diagnostic evaluation, but all warranties have expired.

I was making a left turn. I was struck by a vehicle traveling at a high rate of speed. The impact was to the front passenger side wheel. My vehicle was spun around 45 degrees in the opposite direction and I was tossed around in the vehicle with my seat belt on. The cars computer detected an impact serious enough to initiate a 911 call. No airbags deployed.

The contact owns a 2013 Ford C-max. The contact received a notification for NHTSA campaign number: 14v597000 (air bags) and stated that the part needed was unavailable to repair the vehicle.

Took my car for service, defective trunk lid release mechanism and recall 14s04. Service done. Trunk done but again not working - this the 3rd attempt that has failed. I was told by service dept that recall did not require attention. I am dissatisfied with rivertownford in columbus, GA, and wish to register their ineptitude in handling potentially serious safety matters.

The dashboard on the passenger side is misaligned, bent upward and out, not meeting the door panel/top of dash properly as does the drivers side. This misalignment creates a gap between the dash and door panel, normally less than a pencil width, of nearly a hands width. Also, the gap between top of the dash, normally flush with the other dash moldings, is popped up 1/2 inch or more. This inconsistent alignment is verified by viewing other C-max vehicles. My concern besides the quality of fitment is the airbag alignment during a crash. Is this misalignment an issue for airbag deployment to the correct angle and if so would this cause injury beyond the incidental injury caused by normal airbag deployment. .
