My 75 year old mother in law was driving this car (her car) on 4/4/17 in bellmead, texas. She was hit at about 40 mph in the front passenger side quarter panel/wheel area by a 1998 Honda sedan. She was driving on a paved feeder road in clear sun shiny weather. The car was a total loss due to the axel breaking and the air bag did not deploy. She hit her head in the accident which resulted in her death a week later due to a stroke caused by a left hemorrhagic stroke (brain bleed). I can provide the police report and photos via personal email not through this public forum.

Last night I hit a deer going 70 miles per hr. On the highway. My leg airbags deployed but my steering wheel did not only the clips came out. Due to knee airbags I have huge bruises on both legs. I feel that the steering wheel has a defective airbag since it did not deploy. If I had hit a tree instead of a deer its possible I would not be here to file this it did not protect me at all.

I was involved in an accident in which I rear-ended the vehicle in front of me. I decelerated from between 60 and 65 mph to 0 mph in just a few seconds, with frontal impact being made with the car in front of me probably somewhere around 30 mph or less. My knee airbag deployed immediately (I have the bruise to prove it). My steering wheel airbag began deploy but stopped. I have pictures showing the horn cover of the steering wheel separated from the base about a centimeter. My horn began honking in even pulses. My steering wheel airbag never actually deployed. I noticed that other 2013 Ford models had recalls for steering wheel airbag failures, but not the Focus. The symptoms described, like for the fusion, seem similar to what I saw with my airbag. The fact that the sensors detected the crash was enough to set off the airbag, but the airbag could not fully deploy concerns me. My vehicle is in the process of being repaired, and both airbags are being replaced, but I wanted to be sure to report this, just in case this could be the start of a bigger issue for my model. I was lucky. In my accident, the steering wheel airbag was not needed to keep me safe, but someone else might not be so lucky.
