I was traveling 285-west in decatur, GA. , around 3:30 pm eastern time, when I was in a a multi-car accident. I was in the lane closest to the grass, when a Dodge ram four door truck hit my F-150 super crew cab 2003. The driver hit my driver side backdoor, and then he hit me again on the driver side front bumper, and spun me off the road into a wooded area with large trees and a ravine. I then had a head on collision with a large tree. I called on the name jesus three times, then my truck turned 180 degrees and that turned me around going into the ravine backwards. I felt myself come out of my seat with my seat belt on. My bench seat went into recline, then my head went backwards, then forward. My airbag did not deploy. I did research, when I noticed a website called "wekeepitsafe". The database shows 144,000 Ford F-150 2003's recalled for failure of airbag deployment due to a malfunction in the steering wheel column. I called Ford's motor head quarters. The first number was (313)323-9100, then I was transferred to 1-866-436-7332. I spoke with a rep by the name of mel, and he gave me a choice of monetary compensation or a truck. I declined, due to the fact that I was heavily medicated with hydrocodone for head, neck, and shoulder pain. I suffer from excruciating head aches, stabbing pain in my ear, and numbness/tingling/and pain in my back and legs. I have scheduled an appointment with an orthopaedic specialist, because my primary care physician is unable to assist. My case number #cas10200415. I am fond of Ford pickup super crew cabs. I have a picture showing the airbag. And the picture proves that the airbag light indicator shows that it is working, if you look on the right side lower corner other picture by the gear shift. I spoke with mel at 11:24 am eastern time.

My complaint pertains to an accident that I was involved in on July 29, 2003. I had a frontal collision with another car in an intersection. The other car ran a red light, but the fact is, my right front corner of my bumper hit her left front side at her left front tire and did considerable amount of damage to both vehicles. I have a f150 4x4 supercrew, the other car was a olds' 98 regency full size car. My approximate speed was between 20 to 25 mph, I had just came from another intersection and had not reached the speed limit quite yet. After hitting this car my truck traveled another 20 to 30 yards before hitting a 2 pipe hand/guard rail. The corner post placed a nice v dead center in my bumper. The hood was buckled, both front quarter panels damaged and jammed back into the doors. My air bag did not deploy nor did my seat belts lock in position to prevent myself from hitting the steering wheel with my chest. The truck was repaired by a reliable collision center approved by my insurance company, state farm insurance. I had notified Ford of the air bag and seat belt not working as I was lead to believe it should and was instructed to take my truck to the dealership where I purchased it and have the systems checked out. Dealership test results showed systems all working properly. I contacted Ford again and asked just what it takes to initiate these devices to work. The customer service person read to me what it would take for these to work. I told her that is exactly what I was telling her had happened in the wreck. At this point I have no confidence in my truck and worry that they will not work the next time if ever needed again or if they will even deploy for no reason while I'm driving down the road. I just don't know where to go with this to gain confidence in my truck. I just purchased this truck in April and will take a bad beating if I trade it off now (because it has been damaged in a crash) since I?ll never be able to trade it in or sell it.
