Vehicle was involved in a frontal collision at 25-30 mph and neither frontal air bag deployed. Dealer was notified.
My son and a passenger were travelling south in the left lane of a four lane highway when he was forced off the road by a driver in the right lane. He lost control of the car and crossed the mediam and the two north bound lanes of traffic. The car continued up the embankment and hit a tree. The car is a 1991 Ford Mustang. Neither the passenger or the drivers air bags deployed.
Front crash at unknown speed, neither airbag deployed. No injuries, damage to vehicle was 4500. 00 dollars.
Driving home, rainy evening, small animal ran out in front of car, hit brakes, locked up, car proceeded straight, air bags deployed. Did not hit or run over anything. Have witness to event. Dealer and Ford indicate that this is typical and the air bag did as it was suppose to. Upon dealer checking for damage, small dent found in undercarriage of car. No entrance or exit wounds, just a dent - other parts of car are lower. . Dealer put car up on jack to show us, placed jack in wrong place, covering damage, had to take it back down. Damage lines up perfectly with jack. Dealer damaged w/ jack and Ford (who wouldn't even come in to look at car) agreed w/ dealer that this could cause airbag deployment. I did not hit anything, the air bags malfunctioned, dealer made damage - it's a cover-up.
While traveling at 30 mph a truck broadsided consumer's vehicle. Vehicle was totalled, and none of frontal airbags deployed. Please provide any further information.
While driving 65 mph in wet road condition consumer applied brakes to avoid hitting another vehicle, and vehicle started to skid and hit guardrail/ front impact. Consumer hit his head on steering wheel. Neither airbag deployed. Damage to vehicle about $ 11000. 00.
Was traveling approximately 5mph when for no reason air bags deployed. Vehicle then bumped into wooden fence. Driver suffered burns on arms. Consumer wrote in stating "the car was parked and when I got out of the car it rolled forward bumping a wood fence post and both air bags deployed".
While coasting out of car wash vehicle slid on ice, bumped into vacuum. At that time, both airbags deployed. There was no noticable damage to the vehicle or plat form. The consumer believes the air bag system must have been defective to have deployed without impact.
