I was making a normal order delivery drop off going off my gps I came to a narrow road where no signs of a dip ahead. Came to a dip ahead that you couldn't tell it was a dip and I wasn't going no more than 11 to13 miles when I was coming over it and my airbags busted out of my sterring wheel hitting my hand and my arm leaving burn marks. I couldn't stay on the road so I waited 30 mins before I drove slowly back to my house cause then my tire started going low.
Air bag non deployment!!!.
As I was pulling into a friend's drive way, my airbags just went off. The seat belts don't retract.
Takata recall. The drivers side seat belt was replaced under warranty the first time, as it was failing to return to default position properly. The seat belt was replaced a second time, after I was rear ended (it was failing to retract again at the time, identical to the first time I had to have it replaced under warranty), and crushed into the vehicle in front of me. I was at a full stop when the vehicle hit me from behind. That crash deployed both airbags. The front and rear bumpers were replaced due to that crash, along with the seat belt. I have no way of knowing if those two replacement airbags were made by takata. The seat belt has again become "unsafe" due to it not retracting. I have no way of knowing if the seat belt will function properly if I'm involved in another accident! this leaves me with two questions: do I have takata airbags in this car, and, is this seat belt issue a known problem that has been recalled or at least has a TSB issued? this is an 18 year old car that I seldom drive, and have owned since brand new, but if I have two safety issues that Ford should be taking care of, I would like to know about it, so I can get the problems resolved. Is there any way for me to determine the I do or do not have takata airbags, since they were replaced by a Ford dealer (now called "auto nation Ford") here in frisco, texas. The date of the accident is an estimate.
On may 30, 2005, our daughter was exiting a parking lot in her 2000 Ford Mustang. Due to the fact that the exits werenã‚t clearly marked, she drove over the sidewalk, resulting in approximately a four inch drop off. After waiting for traffic to clear, she accelerated to exit the parking lot and both of her airbags deployed. She was fortunate that a police officer witnessed this incident. After speaking with the officer, I was assured that speed was not a factor. I also reviewed photographs of the area to view to see the drop-off and came to the conclusion that it was the equivalent of a ã‚highway pot-holeã‚쳜, which should not have caused the premature deployment of the airbags.
Front passenger tire broke off from its rim while driving. The right front tire with it's rim frame had broken off from the center base. There was a series of body/chassis damage and the air bag(s) did not deploy.
I was involved in a one car accident where I lost control and jumped a curb. My car was a 2000 v6 Mustang coupe. The air bags deployed when the car made contact with the curb. But I was then airborn in the car for about 12 feet and by the time my car hit the ground my air bags had deflated, causing my passenger to hit her head on the dashboard. She had her seatbelt on, and be knocked unconscious. Also. . . When the air bags deployed they came out with such force that it knocked my hands off the steering wheel, causing me to not be able to steer the car . Scared that if the tires weren't straight when we would touch down that we would flip. The same incident happened 2 days ago when my friend wrecked his 20'01 gt. He had lost control of the vehicle and clipped a telephone poll doing about 50mph. He then jumped a ditch. . . Went airborn. . . And wrapped his car around a tree. The airbags deployed,but had deflated by the time he had any real contact. The airbags deployed when he clipped the telephone poll. . . But when he needed it most it had already deflated. . . Causing him to hit his head on the steering wheel and then having his head go through the windshield. Airbags do not need to deflate so quickly. I think this needs to be looked into. Thank you!.
Another vehicle loss control and hit the driver side front of vehicle. Consumer states none of the airbags deployed. Please provide any further information. Ph.
