The vehicle was in a front end collision with the front driver side primarily damaged. The vehicle was traveling down a city street at roughly 35 to 40 mph uphill. The vehicle rear ended a stationary vehicle that was attempting to turn. The airbag sensor was located on the vehicle and was hit, however, the airbags did not deploy. Causing damage to the driver in the accident. They clearly should have deployed by the appearance of the sensor.

Leaving a grocer at 13:15 on 9/7/2015 started to back out of parking spot when auto suddenly accelerated backward, across the aisle and slammed into parked vehicle with impact sending that auto into a 3rd. Damages to both vehicles. When I went to pull into my original slot to deal with situation, as soon as I removed foot from brake, auto lunged forward at high rate of speed, jumped a 6" landscape curb and plowed into the front end of a Cadillac srx causing major damage to that vehicle, still unk total damage to mine. It was a very hot day and the ac was running. No other vehicles were occupied other than mine, and I was sole occupant. My airbag did not deploy and passenger's was not turned on. I did receive a significant bruise on my sternum from the shoulder component of my seat belt. My foot was not on the accelerator for either "lunge". Crashes were witnessed and peoria az police did respond with 2 units. Officers did take information, but when I inquired about incident # for my records officer responded that there would be no report and no citations as it occurred on private property. My insurance carrier was contacted from site, but being a holiday, I was not able to speak with adjuster at that time. Knowing that it was not my actions that caused this incident, I checked the next day and discovered that this identical situation had been under investigation with NHTSA at the time I purchased the car on or about 11/16/12 at which a service program to retify was in effect. With my incident though, major damage occurred. Neither at the time of purchase, nor throughout the investigation & tenure of my ownership (current) was I notified of the known safety problem nor it's program to mitigate. Attached aerial photo shows back to back dimension to first impact and back to front dimension of 2nd. I was parked in position of white vehicle.

Driving at he rate of speed of about 55-65 mph heading southbound on the dan ryan expressway in chicago when my 2005 Ford Five Hundred was involved in a front-end collision with a median and my airbag did not deploy. There could be a loss of life if this problem is not resolved.

Traveling south on I-26 across the TN/nc border through sam's gap on a snowy day led me to drive very slow and come to a stop at the truck information area at the top of the hill. When I saw a large transfer truck pull out onto the road and proceed down the hill I felt it was safe to follow. This truck was moving a lot faster than I was and I was "covering the brake" and tapping it occasionally down the steep incline, but there was ice on the road and when I tapped the brakes the car began to spin and hit the concrete median on all 4 corners of the vehicle with pretty strong force. The seat belt correctly locked down on the driver side, but the air bag did not deploy properly. The air bag light was illuminated and I could smell like something was burning. I assumed this was the compound used in the air bag. When the police arrived, I was given a citation for driving too fast for the conditions and another because the insurance recently lapsed. The tow truck driver took the car to the bottom of the hill (driving too fast for the conditions by the way) and declared the car drivable since there were no fluids leaking and the car would still crank. The fuel system had to be reset, because it correctly shut off due to the impact. The seatbelt was locked down completely and would not release. Since there was no snow beyond the sam's gap area, I decided to drive home and park the car because I did not have money for a hotel or for additional towing and the person at the nc welcome center said we were experiencing blizzard conditions. So rather than freeze to death or ask someone else to put themselves in danger to come get me I drove him with the airbag / seatbelt lights alarming. The body shop person I spoke with said that I needed to determine what is wrong with the restraint/airbag system before they can work on it because of the risk of the system deploying without warning.

It started with my instrument cluster going out (no lights, gauges, anything) and it can last anywhere from 15 minutes to hours. The other night my boyfriend and I hit a deer and we went from 70 to 50 on impact (which was head on) and our airbags did not deploy. However a few minutes after the impact, the light came on saying something was wrong with the airbags.

The contact owns a 2005 Ford Five Hundred. While driving 30 mph, the contact rear ended another vehicle. The air bags failed to deploy. There were no injuries and the vehicle has not been diagnosed by the dealer. A police report was filed. The failure mileage was 34,500.

: the contact stated while traveling 55 mph with the cruise control engaged, the vehicle drove off the road and into an embankment of a creek flipping the vehicle onto its roof. The front airbags failed to deploy although the side curtain air bags deployed and the seat belt was worn. A fence post was damaged in the accident. The contact was taken to the hospital and treated for bumps and bruises to the body and head. A police report was taken. The vehicle was towed to an impound and the manufacturer was notified.

Purchased a new Ford Five Hundred in October of 2005. I was unfortunately involved in an accident, that caused extensive damage to the front end of the vehicle. My concern is that the air bags never deployed. With the amount of damage I would have thought they would have deployed.
