I was driving on southfield freeway in michigan about 5:15 pm, I was in the left lane when traffic stopped. I stopped along with the car in front of me. At this time the car behind did not stop going somewhere between 20-40mph hit my car in the back and pushed me into the car in front of me. The air bags did not deploy even though I got hit from behind and pushed into another vehicle. The force was so strong that it broke my driver seat and my glove box. My Ford Escape was total loss in the accident. I suffered some bumps and bruises and whiplash and did go to the er for these injures.

Takata recall. Purchased sept 2013. Rear ended twice within the first month of ownership. Airbags did not deploy either time. Bleakley Ford repaired both times. 2015 got recall notice for 'airbags'. Asked service person what was wrong with the airbags. She said 'they had to be turned on". This means, they were turned off when the car left the factory, and when I was rear ended both times. This indicated that Ford knew the airbags were dangerous, and was turning them off in the factory. I found my vehicle on one takata list, so I know it has them. I have requested several time to have my airbags replaced, but they just brush me off. I'm very nervous not knowing if they are going to explode while I'm driving. I live in the south where it is hot and humid. I understand these are exactly the conditions that cause the pressurized gas container to explode, sending shrapnel into the passengers and driver. I feel Ford should be prosecuted for premeditated endangerment of millions of customers. 1st mva: braking when rear ended. 2nd mva: sitting still @ red light when struck from behind. Both speeds calculated @ 45 mph.
