Explorer V6

  • Automatic transmission
  • 78,000 miles

I was hit in the front drivers side bumper and the other car slid down my Explorer and pushed me over an embankment. My explorer flipped and landed directly on it's front end and the seatbelts didn't lock and the air bags didn't deploy. I hit my head on the rearview mirror. I had two other people with me who was also hurt badly. We all three are having very bad back problems. no one wants to take our case. We live in a town of a population of about 1,000 people and we found two other people with 2005 Fords that the air bags did not deploy and both of them where hit head on. We have to do something. We could have been killed and so could the other people. what's up Ford???

please if anyone else has had this happen post it and we will do something to take a stand....
