On 12/14/03 I was driving east at 50 mph. When a car ran a stop sign and a flashing red light. My Ranger edge fully impacted his vehicle directly in the passenger side at 50 mph. The air bags did not deploy. I pushed his vehicle off of the right side of the road and into a telephone pole which broke and came down across the top of my truck. I was wearing my seat belt & shoulder harness. I was knocked out for approximately. 20 minutes. I sustained injuries to my right knee, left elbow and to the back of my head. The front end of my Ranger edge was pushed back into the engine compartment about 16 inches. This impact covered the whole of the front end of the Ranger with enough force to bend the frame of the truck between the back of the cab and the front of the bed. I have officially informed Ford and sent all the required information including pictures but have not received a response from them. They said they might do an investigation???.

My husband drives a 2002 Ford Ranger truck. . He was in a accident on 3/05/03 when a car pulled out in front of his truck he was going approx. 35 to 40 mph, he hit her car hard enough to flip her car on it's side. My complaint/concern is his air bag did not deploy, he did have on a seat belt and only sustained minor injuries. My concern is if this had been a more serious accident is there a problem with the air bag not deploying. My husband voiced his concerns with the Ford service and requested that they evaluate the air bag system, the technician claims since the accident was not head on or full frontal hit that this is why it did not deploy. Am unable to find info regarding this, so why did it not deploy. Is this a defect or normal.
