Air bag light was on in the car. Seat belt light for driver's seat doesn't always turn on nor does it alarm even when the seat belt in buckled or unbuckled or if the vehicle was stopped or in motion. Took vehicle in for service, initially was told there may have been rodent damage and that wouldn't be covered by warranty but they would check it out. When I returned, I was told empty water bottles under the passenger seat may have moved a wire. Service people stated that the wire may still be dislodged, they didn't check that. Dealership (sheehy Ford in gaithersburg, md) stated that it was most likely due to water bottles, therefore they didn't check to see if the wire was fully connected or not. I feel my claim was dismissed by the service center and it seems like a safety concern. I am not confident the issue has been fixed. 4 empty water bottles that slide easily under the seat should not dislodge a wire. Additionally, the dealer voided the ticket and didn't submit my claim to warranty. I am still concerned about the safety of my vehicle should I be involved in a crash. They did not address my seat belt concerns for the driver's seat.

Edge

  • 3,400 miles
Purchased my Ford Edge used from Ford dealer 12/29/2018 with 3400 miles on it. In January 2019 I was driving thru an intersection and a lady in a mini van ran a red light doing approx 35 mph or more, she did not hit the breaks. She hit my drivers drivers door and front drivers fender of my Edge which sepereated the front wheel and suspension from my car, crushed the drivers door and even broke the exhaust system supports amoung other things. The insurance labeled my car a total loss. I received 7 stitches, head injury and concussion. Why didn't my air bags deploy. I have been thinking a lot about this the last few weeks and it does not seem right. How can a car be totaled at such a high side impact speed and the side bag not be set off?
