Vehicle was involved in a collision with major front end damage and no airbags deployed. The brakes have been soft or spongy. I have not seen any leaks for the brake issue. I have bled the brakes several times the master was replaced by the original owner.
The air bag has been sending code 2-4 upon starting the vehicle and then after a few times of blinking this code, it stays on constantly. This apparently renders the airbags non-operable & according to online posts, this is caused by corrosion in a component.
Vehicle was traveling southbound in the outside lane of a 4 lane hwy. Vehicle changed lanes abruptly and went left of the center of roadway entering into the nourthbound lanes of traffic, continuing in a southbound direction, the vehicle departed the east side and collided with the end portion of a guardrail. The inside portion of the right front tire caught the outside of gaurdrail causing the car to straddle the top of the rail until the undercarriage of the car caught on a post of the rail causing the car to slide sideways until the left side tires dug into the ground and flipped the car completely over where it continued to travel south, rolling over again, colliding with a wood post then finally coming to rest on it's tires facing northwest. No airbags deployed at any point of the collision. Gearshift was between neutral and overdrive.
Since owning this auto from 2004 forward, I've been in a few front-end incidents and the air bag never activated.
While driving my car (2003taurus), another car ran a red light. . Due to this my car hit his passenger side. My front end was "inside" his car, none of my airbags deployed and neither did the other car. He was also driving a 2003 Taurus.
I was in a traffic accident where a car turning left crossed my path and was hit. I was going 35-40mph and never had a chance to hit the brakes. The front of my car hit the passenger side of his car. I was driving a 2003 Ford Taurus that was totaled. I fractured my wrist. The airbag never came out. Should it have?.
