Warning Light On Problems of Ford Focus

My daughter driving her 2018 Ford Focus hatchback was involved in a high impact front end collison at approximately 35 mph at impact. The Focus hit a SUV who suddenly made a complete stop for no reason on 40 mph road. The impact was a direct hit to the Focus's front bumper flush with SUV's back bumper. The driver's side knee airbag was the only airbag to deploy and the my daughter (driver) was taken by ambulance to the nearest hospital, suffered multiple compression fractures of the spine, injuries to multiple intervertebral discs, an apparent knee ligament injury, and other superficial bruises, cuts, and scraps to the hips, legs, shoulder, chest, and arms. The hood ended up bent in half like an "a" frame, the windshield was cracked, most of the front end was pushed into the engine compartment, and the steering wheeling housing was cracked. The Ford Focus is a total loss. During extraction of the driver, the fire and rescue cut power to the vehicle to prevent the steering wheel air bag from deploying. They remarked to the driver that the steering wheel and side airbags should've deployed with the amount of impact to the vehicle and injuries sustained by the driver. My daughter has been in the hospital 3 days and is awaiting a back brace and knee brace and appointments with a neurosurgeon, orthopedic surgeon, physical therapist, and pain management. There was no indication of a warning light for faulty air bag and the vehicle had approximately 30500 on it and was still under the original manufacturer's warranty. A copy of the police report is pending release at this time.

My Ford Focus has been having electrical issues for several months now. I have asked Ford to look at my car and they stated it will be $150 to do that. I do not have the money. My major concern is the air bags. My light has been coming off and on and I do not think the air bags will employ. I have seen several complaints on your web site and online as well. Some cars have been in accidents and having the same issue and airbags did not employ. I am terrified this will happen and not save a life. I have an autistic 13 yr old that rides in the passenger side and myself are very concerned!. Also I have been following online a big issue with the electrical in the middle isle which controls the radio and airbags and whatever other warning lights and controls may be. My radio shorted out with loud popping and srcreehing nose then blew out. I think the electrical is all bad in the unit which may be effecting the airbags. Please I am asking for a very concerned safety concern to save a life regarding the airbags please look into a recall regarding this. I am not the first one tho complain about this. Thank you very much. I do have pictures with the airbag light on and off. It is not a push button! I can send pictures if you need them. I am able to do currently. Please let me know. Please help.

Warning light on dash for passenger airbag pops on at times. The indicator in the middle of the console will also light up as if someone is in the seat. The warning light will stay lite for days and at times weeks and then just go off. I've attempted to reset as the owner manual explains to to, but it hasn't worked. I've taken it to a mechanic (firestone) to inquire of issue. I was told it maybe electrical. I've even taken to a dealership's auto repair department and was told the same thing. 99% of time since I've owned this vehicle no one has riden in my passenger front seat. So this concerns me because if something happens what if the airbag, which seems to be faulty, doesn't deploy.
