We have 2 complaints about the airbags. I was driving 65mph on highway and hit a bear on front drivers side (airbag did not deploy. ) repaired the car. My daughter was in a highway collision rear ended a person at 43 -45 mph airbags did not deploy. Informed yesterday the car is a total loss. She had her glasses thrown off her face dash was pushed back, trooper and tow truck driver were shocked they didn't go off. She was not injured having concussive symptoms. We also found out that the VIN does not match the interior of the car as they were running the specs of the vehicle. The VIN is saying that it is a cloth interior and my car has leather interior. If it was an upgrade it should still be associated with the VIN of the car?.

2 Air Bag Not Deploy problem

Failure Date: 11/18/2018

There is a recall on the electronic power steering for certain 2013 Ford Flex's. Recall 15s18. The manufacturer says that mine does not qualify for the but the vehicle has the same symptoms as the recall campaign. The power steering was out on my vehicle, it locked up around a curve when I was doing about 50 miles an hour. The vehicle would not turn right, I crossed a lane of oncoming traffic and hit a tree on Sunday 11 18 18. I was on highway 70 in kingston tennessee, headed eastbound. The steering wheel is very loose and in a bind as if the steering wheel was locked with keys out of the ignition. I hit the tree doing about 35 mph to 40 mph when steering became inop and the airbags did not even deploy. I was fortunate enough to be able to slow the vehicle from 50 mph to around 35 miles an hour before striking the tree or could'vebeen much worse. I sustained shoulder injury and can only hope that this vehicle becomes part of the recall because I could have very easily hit somebody head on and killed someone or myself. Very thankful to be here but this could have easily cost me my life.
