problem #1

Apr 192008

Focus 4-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 40,000 miles
I own a 2003 Ford Focus ex. On the date of the incident, I was stopped at a red light, and I looked in the rear view mirror and saw a Ford mustang barreling down on me. With no time to react, I was hit from behind at 50 miles an hour. What bothers me is that the airbags did not deploy, even though I came deathly close to smashing my face against the steering wheel.
