Air Bag Not Deploy Problems of Ford Ranger - part 1

We were heading east on a city street when we came to an intersection. The light was green so we continued through the intersection. There was another car heading west on the same street and turned left directly in front of us at the intersection. We were traveling between 40-45 mph. We could not avoid the car that turned in front of us. We hit the side of the second vehicle (the one turning south) head on with our vehicle. The airbags in our vehicle did not deploy. Both the fireman and sheriff on the seen commented on the fact that our airbags should have deployed. Also after our vehicle was towed back to the dealership, the head mechanic was shocked that the airbags did not deploy. Our vehicle has a bent frame on both sides and has been totaled.

Takata recall; I took vehicle to northtowne Lincoln Mercury dealership and they told me that Ford has issued a recall #16s26 for the airbag to be replaced but they have not issued any new parts to them and until they get replacement parts from takata there is nothing they can do for me except tell me just to keep driving the vehicle. I bought the vehicle used and as far as I know the airbag has never deployed. I have never wreck it.

I was recently an accident during which 3 things occurred that contributed to my injuries. The first thing that happened was steering wheel lockup preventing me from turning out of the way. The 2nd & 3rd things occurred when the truck was in free fall. First of all the seatbelt failed to restrained my body during the accident sending me straight into the steering wheel during which time the air bag failed to deploy. So there was nothing to brake my impact to said steering wheel. All of the this took place on a freeway at high speeds I was lucky that my injuries were not worse then they are and in time they will heal. I was lucky, but the next person may not be so, you need to look into this matter thoroughly because the next person may die as a result of these safety failures, and that is something none us want.

Takata recall received a recall notice on our pickup in March of 2017. Called western slope auto about the recall three to four times and they said they could not do anything about the recall as it was not their (basically) problem and to call corporate. They refused to give us a number for their corporate office. We are now waiting to find out what happens next. . . . Perhaps an accident. We do not want to wait for an accident and the airbag not deploy so we don't drive our vehicle very much. We need the use of this vehicle.
