general problems of the 2005 Ford Focus

In a rear end accident the airbags never deployed. The seat belt also didn't catch me and my chest hit the steering wheel. I pressed hard on the breaks but it didn't feel like it was slowing down. I now have a fractured sternum and cannot drive or work. I have filed insurance claims and been to the hospital. No one was in the car with me. There were no warning lights/signs before.

Motor mounts are bad and makes the engine rattle and vibrate tail light will not work I've changed fuse bulb and sockets still nothing and driver seat belt gets stuck.

Bought a 2005 Ford Focus in April, 2018. Told sales man that airbag engine light remains on. Was told is ok. On 6/112018, called customer service Ford coporate spoke with a lady. She ask for VIN number, I gave it to her. She said 2005 Focus has no airbag recall. I told her that air bag light stays on since we bought the car. She didn't take interest on that. I asked her what company made 2005 Ford Focus airbag? she would not tell me. I called local Ford dealer in wesley chapel FL. Told service tech same thing that I told coporate of engine light airbag always stays on. He too said is nothing. That VIN number is no recall. I asked him as well which company put airbags in 2005 Focus, was it tahkata? he too wouldn't answer me. So I email mr. W. Ford to explain above situation with airbag light and who placed air bags in 2005 Focus. Have not heard from him or his office, explained to mr. Ford, that airbag light being always on and his dealers want to charge me $200 to check engine light is absurd. When this is a national safety recall. That we as their paying customers deserve an answer and better treatment. Can you please tell me if this is a safety violation? would like to hear from you. Thank you. J. James smith.

The seat belt receptacle on the front passenger bucket seat has failed. The belt cannot be restrained. Reported to Ford @ elder Ford, 777 john r road, troy, mi 48083. Service director [xxx] would not replace the defective component because it was "out of warranty". Reported incident to Ford customer service 800-3923673. Case # [xxx]. Supervisor "[xxx]" reiterated that safety defect would not be covered vehicle out-of-warranty. This citizen's opinion is all safety defects should be taken seriously and at minimum corrective action should be taken at no cost to the consumer. I cringe at the thought that there are other seat belts that are defective and someone may get hurt. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).
