I rear ended another vehicle that was completely stopped. I was going about 35 to 40 mph. There is $8500 damage to my f150 truck. The damage is all in the front end. My air bag did not come out.

I hit a ditch- the airbag only deployed one fourth of the way--the bag instantly caught fire. Had I been in a wreck, the airbag would not have saved my life. Had I been knocked unconscious, I would have burned alive. I feel that this problem should be looked inton as lives could be lost.

After the air bags deployed they caught on fire and had 6 to 8 inch flames coming out and up toward my face. The service manager contacted Ford and I was told there was no fault brcause they deployed and only my hand got burned when I put it out but the air bag and the fire were right in front of me , I was told the airbag catching on fire was an acceptable risk and not a defect. Acceptable by whose standard? being burnt is better than being dead but being alive and not burnt and not dead is what I expected.
