This accident didn’t involve myself. It involved my father who borrowed my 2011 Ford Flex for the evening. This was a one vehicle accident. It is unknown what happened to cause him to swerve and hit a hit. The air bags didn’t deploy in the vehicle. My father was wearing his seatbelt. An electric fire started and the car burnt along with my father he wasn’t able to be pulled from the vehicle before it caught fire. According to the witnesses, the airbags did not go off. My father had blunt trauma to the chest and to his frontal lobe and broken ribs. In addition to lots of other injuries that would’ve been avoided if the airbags would have went off. My father could’ve been alive if the airbags went off. But instead, he is dead. The pain and suffering and trauma that I live through every day of my life of missing my father has been unbearable this past year. I 100% believe the fire started from the air bags not going off and it was faulty wiring in this vehicle. I believe this whole heartedly. My father didn’t deserve to die this way. I have a flash drive of the scene with pictures taken by the missouri state highway patrol that has been certified. I can send as evidence as well. I have not viewed this flash drive as it would be too traumatic for me to view them of my father. I do not want to picture him like that. But I feel this case needs to be investigated. I no longer can be ok with this situation. The insurance company never inspected it. My insurance company was the general- full coverage- also the vehicle had a lean on it with car mart. Not sure if anyone inspected the vehicle after the accident. I know the missouri house patrol did a full investigation. It set at at tow yard for months in columbia, mo. There were multiple people on the scene. Macon CO. Ambulance, macon CO. Fire and rescue macon CO. Corners office which they called wrong time of death which letters to believe my father wasn’t dead yet from the accident. The air bags could have saved him!!!!!!.

I had to transport a friend from a hospital and because of his surjury had to have him sit in the front passenger seat. I looked in the driver manual to locate the passenger air bag shut off switch, " there is not a switch to be found. The instruction in the driver manual states to place anyone having concerns to be seated in the rear. There is no shut-out switch.

I was waiting for my stop light to turn green at 39th street and southwest traffic-way, when my light turned green I started pulling through the intersection. I noticed a car coming towards me on southwest traffic-way at a high rate of speed. I hit the breaks thinking that this person is not going to stop. The vehicle proceeded to run the red light and hit the front passenger side of my vehicle at a high rate of speed and sent my 2018 Ford Flex spinning through the intersection. Not a single airbag went off in my vehicle, that is terrifying to me being a father of 3 young children I am blessed that they were not in the vehicle when the accident happened. The police showed up on the scene within minutes of the accident, the other driver took off running on foot. The police seemed confused as to why my airbags didn’t deploy, as well as the tow truck driver that hauled my vehicle away. The main component that I am reporting is that the airbags did not work or deploy, as a standard safety measure in vehicles I believe that is a big safety problem. The vehicle has been marked as a total loss by insurance.

On March 11th, the Ford Flex collided at an intersection when an expedition turned unsafely left in front of the west bound Flex. Although the air bags inflated, they quickly deflated because of two large holes. See the photos. The driver of the vehicle was wearing his seat- belt but continues to experience chest pain.

Takata recall - my wife was traveling on hwy 70 in texas towards vernon. She was traveling approximately 73mph and struck a deer. When she struck the deer the the airbags (both front airbags) didn't deploy and the seatbelts did not lock as designed. Based on my research of your site and the NHTSA guidelines on the deployment of airbags. . . I believe there is a problem. Anything being struck at that speed, should've deployed the airbags and my wife's application of the brakes at that speed should have locked the safety restraints. The vehicle sustained significant damage to the front end, to include engine compartment damage and the loss of both headlights operability.

I was ran off a 2 lane city street by a car and when I overcompensenated to move away, I hit my right front fender on a small curb and there was a light pole there. Instead of my front air bags deploying as they should have, all of the side bags on both sides deployed instead. My mechanic has said if there were a passenger in that seat, that didn't have their seatbelt on, they would have hit their head on the dash board.
