In June 2005, I was traveling to work when my car hydroplaned and I hit a bridge. Upon impact, none of my air bags deployed. I suffered a few bumps and bruises but never went to the doctor. If the accident were worse than what it was and the air bags malfunctioned, I could have been killed. I went to Ford and nothing was ever done about it. It was never looked into to see if they did infact malfunction. I looked up the recalls and there was one to the wheel and something else and I want to see if that recall were fixed.
