Steering wheel airbag did not deployed but the airbag under steering wheel deploy.
I had slammed on my breaks to avoid rear ending someone and I slid down the bridge and ended up rearending them. My front end was smashed up but no airbags deployed. My wife was driving our 2018 Ford Fiesta hatchback and totaled the front in by hitting a pole and the air bags did not deploy as well. We are highly dissatisfied that the airbags have yet to deploy when they should.

On 7/2/2019 my wife and I was in a pretty bad wreck totaling our car. There was massive damage done to the front of the car however the airbags never deployed. With the damage done there's no reason the air bags shouldn't have went off. We was traveling about 70 mph on the highway heading home when this happened.

Violent left side collision (t bone type) by high powered 400 hp 1995 Chevrolet comaro going through a stop sign, accelerating across four lanes, then leaving the scene of the accident. I was not injured. The car was significantly damaged. The car was pushed perpendicular and partly rotated. There were two eye witnesses. After a moment of recovery I gave chase and caught the driver in a driveway several blocks down wisconsin Ave in tampa florida. Called police and my insurance company usaa. I was the only occupant. Air bags did not deploy. I reported this to Ford and regional service manager seemed to take great interest initially and said she would have air bags thoroughly evaluated after collision repair. After repair, a month later, I called her and she delayed responding for three weeks, finally responding after many calls to Ford customer service center. She said air bags were checked by greenway Ford where I had collision repaired. This was not true and a lie. Service was not aware of possible non deployment of side airbags when front passenger seat was unoccupied. Service checked alignment only. Further pressing Ford to follow through with their initial directions to have air bags evaluated has resulted in Ford refusing to evaluate side air bag function relative to not deploying as a result of this violent side collision. I am reporting this to you because I have doubt whether the side air bags in my Ford Fiesta 2014 and a second Ford Fiesta 2014, ([xxx]), I purchased after the accident, may not have functional side air bag deployment with the right front seat unoccupied, a potential safety risk for occupants of the rear seat. If I can help with any additional information regarding my accident please do not hesitate to contact me at [xxx] or [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

While driving the speed of in town, stop and go traffic, my brakes failed to work. I approached a red light with stopped traffic ahead of me and started braking. I continued to brake but there was absolutely no brake pressure. It felt like my brake pedal was pushing through the floor board but nothing was happening. My car proceeded to crash into a stopped truck at about 35-40mph. My airbag did not deploy. I came away with aches and pain but fortunately was not badly injured. My car has been totaled by my insurance company. I have been telling Ford since I purchased the car that the brakes make an awful squealing noise.
