I turned my ignition to start my car and the driver airbag deployed from the steering wheel hitting me in the head causing me to lose consciousness briefly from the impact. The airbag popped in my ear after hitting my head and started smoking. The smoking coming from the now deflated airbag did not stop for about 10 minutes. There was no reason for the airbag to deploy. I am very afraid of why this happened and since it happened for no reason I am fortunate this didn't happen while driving. I am 7 months pregnant, so due to this happening my doctor had me go to the hospital to have the baby monitored to make sure everything was ok. I use this car to drive my 4 year old and 2 year old and I am concerned for my whole family's safety. Ford needs to take action on this case of airbag deploying for no reason.

I am a captain with the fire department and responded to a 2 car head on crash. Other vehicle had airbag deployment, while this Navigator had a major front end collision and air bags were loaded (not activated) on our arrival. Only one occupant in the Navigator was injured, minor, but required ambulance transportation. Colton fire also responded, and colton p. D. Was the investigative authority, sgt. Steve davis was the officer in charge. The owner of the Navigator, linda jones of 1245 west "c" street, colton CA, 92324 stated that the air bag was not DE-activated on the passenger side. The frontal impact of this collision should have certainly caused air bag deployment.
