Front Air Bag problems of the 1996 Ford Explorer

The consumer owns a 1996 Ford Explorer. The consumer was in an accident and none of his air bags deployed. The consumer was hit in the front end.

I was in an automobile accident on 4/16/02 and my air bag did not inflate. I was traveling at approximately 20-25 mph when a vehicle failed to stop at a stop sign and crossed my path. Why didn't the air bag inflate? I have severe brusing and contusions on my chest as a result of being thrusted foreward hitting the steering column.

On 09/23/01 my 24yr. Old soninlaw was killed when he lost control and hit a meidian and tree was on two tires then went 30ft thru the air before the Explorer he was driving rolled and threw him out the driver window. He was wearing seat belt which he had had trouble with since purchase failed and he was ejected also his brother in passenger side couldnt get his belt to latch but he was lucky and walked away. The truck was also equipped with airbags on both sides which didnt deploy either. My son in law died that night when he was ejected and the truck landed on half of his face. He left behind a wife and 2sons and a 1 month old daughter. These Explorers are death traps please do not purchase one.
