Front Air Bag Sensor Control problems of the 2003 Ford F-150

Sept 17th 2011. Sat. Night about 10:00pm I was driving my 2003 Ford F-150 truck east. I was going about 45-50mph on a straight country road when a loud sound went off and the airbags deployed and the truck came to a screeching stop. I was able to keep the truck on the road as it came to a complete stop. I and a passenger were wearing seatbelts and were able to get out of the truck. It was full of smoke and the horn was blaring , we opened the hood and disabled the horn put on the emergency flashers. The truck would not move. Couldn't get it in or out of gear, its a standard. I called my insurance CO. And we had my truck towed from there to a friends house. Both of us were pretty shakened and had hurt necks and backs and I hurt my hand. My friend got hurt the worst and is still seeing doctors for his neck injuries. I am okay but sore and haven't gone to the doctors. My insurance won't cover the damage it caused inside the cab or have airbags re-installed. I have full coverage! the air bags just deployed on their own. Out of the blue. Gives me a whole new perspective about air bags,they may save your live or take your life! they are scary, smell bad, ruin your car and have to be replaced along with a brain before the truck will run. The truck is still disabled today. I feel it was a defect in the airbag sensors or the airbags themselves! and it should be covered by either my insurance or the Ford motor company. It's a safety feature and should be covered by one of the two! I had the truck for 4 years and nothing had ever happened like that before. Its never been hit in the front and I was just driving along. On a straight road and boom. The airbags deployed and the truck came to a sudden stop. It was traumatizing to say the least!.

Consumer complained about a tire defect. These tires came with the purchase of the vehicle. Ameritrac p255/70r16. The tread came completely off the tire but the tire never went flat. Vehicle began to pull to the left and spun into a wall. The vehicle was going about 50 mph when it hit the wall and the air bags failed to deploy. Provide further details.

I was involved in accident. This was a head on accident. I own a 2003 F-150 super crew. On 02-21-05 I was involved in an accident where I hit a Mini van in the passenger side. The front end of my truck was heavily damaged. The estimated speed was 35-40 mph with no braking. The air bag's never deployed. The air bags in the Mini van deployed but not in my vehicle. Rescue personel could not believe that the air bags did not deploy with the amount of damage done.
