I was east bound doing 50 mph when a west bound chevy made a left turn into my lane, I braked a turned right impacting the chevy head on spinning it 180 degrees and back into the west bound lane. Both the chevy's air bags deployed and it broke it's wind- shield. The air bags in my truck failed to deploy; I'm the original owner of the Ranger. My truck as well as the chevy were totaled; $8,988. To fix my Ranger. My wife suffered a broken left wrist and she broke a titanium rod in her back. She had to undergo a six hour surgery to remove the broken rods parts in her lower back and the surgeon had to add more rods in her upper back to stabilize two vertibrae , which were damaged in the crash. I send Ford the accident report, body shop estimate and 20+ pictures of the truck and accident scene. Ford said the impact was not enough to set off the air bags. Both fenders were buckled, radiator was pushed into the fan, frame was bent, it took several minutes to open the pass. Side door to get my wife out of the truck. Bumper, grille and headlights were totaled. Ford offered to check the restraint control module and report their own lab findings to me, I felt this was like hiring the fox to guard my hen house. I would like to send you all photos, the accident report, body shop estimate as well as the before and after x-rays of my wife's back. My son worked at a Ford dealer for 18 years as a mechanic and told ask Ford what went wrong in the air bag system. I hope you'll get back to me I just want to know why the bags failed.

I was involved in a high speed collision in my 2001 Ford Ranger 4x4 pickup on the morning of Tuesday, February 10, 2009. I was driving along a county road at 55 m. P. H. When a 2003 Ford Ranger suddenly made a left turn in front of me. I had the right of way as the other vehicle was stopped at a stop sign before deciding to turn. I could not avoid the other vehicle and struck its driver side door traveling approximately 50 - 55 m. P. H. With the front end of my vehicle. My airbag did not deploy, and I sustained severe whiplash, seatbelt bruising, bruised shins from hitting the bottom of the dashboard,, as well as torn muscles in my neck on either side of my larynx. On August 1, 2008, I went to the Ford dealership in my town to have a recall repair performed on the airbag in my truck. Were the crash even more serious, the failure of the airbag could have resulted in more severe or even fatal injuries. As of now, I have many months and possibly years of physical therapy ahead of me. I am very concerned and disappointed that the airbags did not deploy in a high speed front end crash as they were designed to do. I believe my injuries would be much less severe had they deployed.
